RCCG Pastor Kidnapped During Sunday Service

There was panic at a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at Santos bus stop in the Isawo, Ikorodu, Lagos State, on Sunday after some gunmen walked in and abducted the pastor during the service.

Around 7am the pastor was the first to reach the parish and was preparing for a workers’ meeting which usually preceded the Sunday service. The pastor identified only as Bajomo, was abducted and whisked away by the gunmen, who came to the church as if they were new members.

The few witnesses present at the time said the gunmen wore attractive clothes as if they had come for the church service, they walked in quietly like new members.

“They dressed like people who had come to church. They had Bibles with them. They did not shoot or display any weapon. It was when they got to the pastor that they brought out their guns and ordered him to come with them. Only three church members had arrived before the abduction.

“We discovered after they had left that they were Ijaw militants. They have taken away our pastor. Some members, after the incident, went to the pastor’s house to inform his family members.

As a result of the pastor’s abduction Sunday service did not hold at the parish.
