Bad Guys Kidnaps Pastor, Demands N300m Ransom & N200k for Their Phone Calls Bill

Some people no dey fear! A pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, New Anointing Chapel in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Mark Christmas, has been kidnapped by gunmen in his hometown.

The pastor’s wife, Evelyn Christmas, said her husband was kidnapped with two other persons. She said the incident happened in their hometown, Biseingbene, Ekeremor LGA. Mrs. Christmas said her husband was invited to the community for a meeting by unknown persons on the fateful day.

“When he got to the community, he found out that the invitation was not only false but a devilish plan to kidnap him.”

According to PT, Mrs. Christmas said the pastor had stayed over two weeks in their custody since October 18 as they are asking for N200,000 for all their phone calls so far and N300million as ransom.

“It is over two weeks and I have not heard or seen my husband but some of our family members, who live in the village, told me that they spoke with them.

“I planned to contact the police, but the family members said that I should not involve the police to avoid incurring more danger. The reason is that my husband might be killed by the hoodlums if the police is involved in the matter,” she said.

Mrs. Christmas described the situation as ”very painful”. She prays her husband comes home alive.

The Police PRO in Bayelsa, Asinim Butswat, said the family had not reported the matter to the police.

"They have not reported the incident to us, but if they come to us, we are ready to mobilise ourselves".
