# Eastern Cape police are investigating the kidnapping of US missionary pastor Josh Sullivan, who was abducted during a sermon at the Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, in Gqeberha. It is alleged four armed men stormed the church last night, took Sullivan at gunpoint, and fled the scene. His car was later found abandoned nearby. Police spokesperson Nobuntu Gantana suspects the motive is ransom-related as the country continues to battle a surge in kidnappings.
