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.
