Celestial Church Members Kidnapped During Vigil Rescued In Ogun

Three Celestial Church of Christ members, who were kidnapped during a night service in Obada-Oko area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, have been rescued.

They were rescued unhurt by the Ogun State Government-owned security outfit, the So-Safe Corps.

Church goers were not spared as the kidnappers storm worship centres to drag away worshippers at vigils, the same reason police warned against night services.

However, it appears Mr Ezekiel Agbaje and two other women had ignored police warnings as they were abducted at about 1 am on Friday while in a vigil at the Celestial Church of Christ, Owo Agbara Majemu Parish, Iwokun, near the 'railway bridge' in Obada-Oko.

According to So-Safe Corps spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, the Commander of the agency, Soji Ganzallo, had, upon useful information, instructed the Corps Special Squads to go after the abductors and rescue the victims unhurt.
