Six worshippers were abducted, and a pastor was shot after armed men attacked Elyon Paradise Ministry Church in Asagba Ogwashi, Delta State, during a Friday night vigil.
Eyewitnesses revealed that the attackers shot the pastor, Apostle Divine Omodia, and cut off two of his fingers before taking six congregants to an unknown location.
“The pastor was rushed to the hospital, where doctors are battling to save his life. Since the attack, the kidnappers have not contacted anyone for ransom.
“Till today (Sunday), the kidnappers have not called to demand a ranson for the release of the abducted victims since the incident occurred,” a source told Punch.
Confirming the incident, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, said a rescue team is actively searching for the victims in the surrounding bush.
