The Pastor of Christ Embassy Church, Lawrence Ohimare, who was kidnapped while crossing from Nembe to Yenagoa on Monday has been released. Ohimare and 11 other persons were let off the kidnappers’ den after spending 15 hours with their abductors.
Gunmen had abducted the pastor and 11 other passengers aboard a commercial speedboat heading for Yenagoa through the Nembe waterways.
Ehimare said his abductors initially thought the passengers, including himself, were important persons, whom they could hold and demand ransom. He, however, said their saving grace was that the passengers they abducted with him were civil servants.
