Members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on a mission work from Kaduna Province 1 going to Kafanchan for prayer work, were
abducted by gunmen in Kaduna State on Friday evening.
Head, Media and Public Relations of RCCG, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, confirmed the abduction on Friday night, but did not release further details on the identities and number of the victims.
An engineer, Mr. Eje Kenny Faraday, who said he “narrowly escaped being a victim,” had broken the news on his Facebook wall with the photograph of the empty bus around 7.00 p.m. on Friday.
“All passengers in the bus are just kidnapped along Kachia Road, Km 63 from Kaduna,” he posted on his Facebook wall.
The inscription on the side of the bus reads, ‘The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region 30, Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna’. Mr Faraday, in reply to a commenters’ enquiry as to when the incident happened, wrote: “Today. Not long ago. I was almost a victim.”
The kidnappers, according to information available, are yet to get in touch with the church or victims’ families.
