Five members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna, who were kidnapped on March 26, 2021, have regained their freedom.

This was disclosed on Thursday by General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

Adeboye disclosed this through a tweet on Thursday, saying all the eight members have been freed and have been taken to hospital for examination.

Ripples Nigeria had reported that eight members of RCCG’s Region 30 Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna, were attacked and abducted by gunmen on March 26, near Doka along the Kachia-Kafanchan Road, on their way to a church programme in Kafanchan.

The abductors had demanded N50 million in ransom. However, the General-Overseer didn’t disclose whether the church paid a ransom or not.

Adeboye tweeted, “Today I got the exciting news that our brethren who were in captivity of kidnappers have all been released and taken to the hospital for checkup and tests. Glory be to Jesus. We pray for lasting peace in all troubled regions of the country in Jesus name.”
