Again, Gunmen Invade Ogun Church, Abduct 2, Demand N50m
Gunmen have invaded the Celestial Church of Christ, SBJ Oshofa at Wasimi in Ewekoro LGA of Ogun State and abducted two worshippers, the Assistant Shepherd of the parish, Oluwaseun Ajose, and a Sunday school teacher, Dagunro Ayobami.
Our correspondent gathered that the hoodlums, four in number, stormed the church around 11pm on Monday, and took away the two worshippers.
A source told our correspondent that the church was located in an isolated area which allowed the hoodlums to operate unhindered.
The Shepherd of the parish, Oluwatomisin Ehuwaojomo, on Tuesday confirmed the incident, saying the kidnappers had reached out to the church and demanded N50m ransom.
Ehuwaojomo said, “When my assistant called me almost two hours after they left, the kidnappers initially refused to speak with me, but on his third attempt, they spoke with me and requested N50m ransom. I told them that I am a servant of God and I don’t receive salary,” adding that, “I have spoken to the commissioner of police and they are on it.”
The state’s police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he had not been briefed on the incident.
