A pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God has been kidnapped by yet-to-be identified persons.
It was gathered that Pastor Ayo Raphael
was kidnapped during the Sunday service at the Resurrection parish of
the RCCG in Kabba junction in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
Eyewitnesses said the kidnappers,
numbering about 10, stormed the church auditorium at about 9am and
ordered the congregation to lie face down.
An eyewitness, who pleaded not to be
named, said,
“The pastor was dragged out of the church into the bush while the abductors shot sporadically into the air to facilitate their escape.”
Although no lives were lost, many
members of the congregation were said to have sustained injuries as a
result of their scampering for safety as the kidnappers were shooting
into the air.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the kidnappers had contacted the church, demanding N50m before the pastor could be released.
I pray he is rescued alive
