The four people heading for a
Redeemed Christain Church of God (RCCG) ministers conference and kidnapped
along the Benin-Ijebu-Ode-Sagamu expressway on Thursday night have been rescued
by the police.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, public
relations officer of the Ogun State Police Command, confirmed this on Saturday.
While delivering his sermon on
Friday, Enoch Adeboye, RCCG general overseer, had announced that five ministers
of the church were kidnapped on their way to attend the church’s ministers’
conference in Lagos.
While addressing the congregation
at a later service, the general overseer said investigations by the police have
shown that it was only one pastor that was abducted alongside four other
persons.
The police had earlier identified
the victims as Chidioze Eluwa, Chiemela Iroha, Okoro Ohowukwe, Ndubuizi
Owuabueze, and Ibelegbo Chidinma.
They were reported to have been
heading to Lagos from the eastern part of the country when gunmen stopped their
vehicles and took them into the forest.
The police had earlier announced
the safe rescue of Ibelegbo Chidinma, a deaconess in RCCG.
Ibelegbo was rescued in the early
hours of Saturday and she was taken to the command’s headquarters in Abeokuta.
Bashir Makama, Ogun state
commissioner of police was reported to have led the operation to rescue the
victims.
