Mchungaji wa Kimarekani, Josh Sullivan, aliyetekwa na wanaume wenye silaha wakati wa ibada nchini Afrika Kusini, amepatikana akiwa salama baada ya majibizano ya risasi makali yaliyopelekea vifo vya watu watatu, kwa mujibu wa polisi.
Sullivan, mwenye umri wa miaka 45, alipatikana Jumanne jioni katika eneo la Gqeberha, ambako alitekwa wiki iliyopita. Watekaji walikuwa wametoa ombi la fidia, hali iliyosababisha kuingilia kwa kikosi maalum cha polisi wa Afrika Kusini – Hawks.
Msemaji wa Hawks, Avele Fumba, alisema kuwa kikosi kilichopata taarifa sahihi kilivamia eneo hilo, na watuhumiwa walipojaribu kutoroka kwa gari huku wakifyatua risasi, maafisa walijibu kwa ufanisi na kuwaua watuhumiwa watatu.
Sullivan, ambaye ni mmisionari na mchungaji anayehubiri kwa lugha ya Kixhosa, aliwasili Afrika Kusini na familia yake mwaka 2018 kuanzisha kanisa.
