Kidnappers have demanded N6 million for three worshippers abducted on Sunday from the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, along Railway Station, Obada-Oko, in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The worshippers had just finished a vigil when the assailants struck.
After a few hours, the kidnappers demanded N6 million as ransom for the victims, identified as Ifeoluwa Alani-Bello, Adebare Oduntan and Mary Oliyide.
Spokesperson of the state police command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the anti-kidnapping unit of the command had been dispatched to partner the Obada Oko division of the police to rescue the victims.
“It should also be noted that the police had warned members of the public against having vigils and religious activities in areas considered to be isolated and that if at all such places of worship want to have programmes, they should inform the police so that patrols could be extended to such areas and adequate security provided,” he said.
