Eight members of Redeemed Christian Church of God abducted on March 27 have been released, General Overseer of the church, Enoch Adeboye, has said.
The members were travelling in the church’s bus for an Easter programme when they were ambushed and kidnapped along Kachia-Kafanchan highway.
Adeboye announced their release via a Twitter post on Thursday.
The tweet read, “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.”
The kidnappers were said to have contacted the church and demanded N50 million as ransom.
The development is coming just after five of the 39 students kidnapped from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Igabi LGA of Kaduna, regained their freedom.
