Abducted Bishop of Jebba Diocese, Anglican Communion, His Lordship, the Rt. Rev. Adeyinka Aderogbo, and his wife have been released.
Released too is their driver. They were abducted along the Ogbomoso/Oyo Road on Sunday, June 12, 2022, on their way to Yewa Diocese on Episcopal duties.
The Bishop’s Chaplain who was with them said he escaped being abducted because he wore a black Cassock, and lay flat on his belly when the abductors struck and took away the Bishop, his wife and driver into the deep forest.
According to the Chaplain, the vehicle they were traveling in developed a fault on the way, close to Oyo. His Bishop called the Bishop of Oyo for help. But before help could come, their abductors suddenly emerged from the forest and abducted them.
The good news of their release was broken by His Lordship, the Bishop of Omo Akran Diocese, Festus Sobanke.
It is not yet known the circumstances behind their release and if any ransom was paid. But on the day they were abducted, the hoodlums had demanded for the sum of N50m.
