Terrorists Release Abducted Bishop and Wife

Rt. Rev Oluwaseun Aderogba, the abducted Anglican Communion Bishop of Jebba Diocese, and his wife were released by suspected terrorists on Tuesday, nearly 48 hours after they were taken.

The Diocese of Osun Anglican Communion [email protected] announced it on Twitter, saying that the victims were being brought to the hospital for treatment.

“Praise be to God. Bishop Adeyinka Aderogba, his wife and driver were released from the den of kidnappers after 48 hours.

“They are being taken to the hospital for medical attention,” the church stated.

However, it is unclear whether a ransom was paid to guarantee the Bishop‘s, his wife’s, and the driver’s release.

Aderogba and his wife were kidnapped by militants on Sunday evening along Ogbomoso-Oyo Road, according to SaharaReporters.

The Bishop‘s Chaplain, who was with the victims, described how he managed to avoid being caught in the ambush.

“We were travelling from Jebba to Oyo, when it was a few kilometres to Oyo, our vehicle developed a fault. My Lord bishop called the Lord bishop of Oyo BishopBishop Aladekugbe for help.

“However, before help could come, some armed men surrounded and ordered them into the bush. I was lucky. They didn’t see me because of my black cassock.

“I fell flat on my belly to hide myself while they marched my bishop and wife deep into the forest,” He went on to say.
