At least 10 armed men were involved in the attack in which Sr Suellen, 83, was abducted, the Marianites of Holy Cross said in an electronic newsletter at the time of the abduction.Sr Ann said when she spoke with Sr Suellen, the missionary did not actually “know where she was.” “There were about 10 men who came during the night while the sisters were sleeping,” Sr Ann said in an e-bulletin April 6. “They destroyed almost everything in the house, shot holes in the new truck and tried to burn it. The house itself is OK, but its contents are ruined.”
Sr Ann said Sr Pauline and Sr Pascaline were quickly relocated to Kaya, Burkina Faso, about 70 miles from Yalgo. Sr Ann, who has visited the Marianites in the country, said Sr Suellen was serving as a pastoral minister, “to wipe tears, give hugs, import a smile. She really did support the people that work in the clinic that the parish runs,” adding that people walked for miles to get help from the clinic.
