8 Abducted RCCG Members Released

The eight members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) kidnapped by bandits on March 26 in Kaduna State have regained freedom.

Shortly after their release, all the abducted persons were taken to a hospital for medical check-up, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of RCCG, said in a tweet Thursday.

The clergyman announced the release of the church members two weeks after they were abducted by bandits while on transit along the Kachia Road in the southern part of Kaduna.

“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,” he tweeted.

Although it is unclear if any ransom was paid, sources close to the freed victims told Channels Television that they were released in batches.

Three of them were said to have been released by their abductors on Tuesday, while the remaining five persons regained freedom Thursday.
