Five ministers of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) have been abducted.

They were kidnapped on their way to attend the church’s Ministers’ Conference in Lagos.

General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye announced the abduction on Friday at the Redeemed Camp along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Adeboye said the abduction took place on Thursday along the Ijebu-Ode axis.

He charged the congregation to pray for the release of the abductees.

Adeboye noted that it was the first time such incident of that magnitude was happening.

“As a father, how do you think I should feel to hear that five of my children have been kidnapped while on their way to attend the Ministers Conference?”
