A best authority of the congregation, who talked with our reporter on state of anonymity, said the hijackers had requested N100m from the congregation.

“This happened between 6am and 7am on Thursday. The Bishop of the African Church, Ondo Central Diocese and his team consisting of his wife, the chaplain and the driver were travelling from Ekiti State where the bishop hails from to Abeokuta where we are having our national convention when they were waylaid.
“The team fled into the bush, but the gunmen chased them and took the chaplain who just finished his seminary
“They contacted the headquarters of the church at Akure and demanded N100m. They have been negotiating and it appears they are not ready to back down on their demand.”

The Ekiti State Police Advertising Officer, Adeyemi Ademola, affirmed the episode, saying the police were making effort to rescue the minister.
