Kidnapped MFM member regains freedom
A widow and member of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, Sefi Jimoh, kidnapped four days ago in Kogi, has been released.
Police commissioner in Kogi, Edward Egbuka, confirmed the window’s release to journalists on Wednesday in Lokoja.
“No ransom was paid as the window was released by her abductors when they knew that the Police were closing up on them. This is because immediately the report of her abduction got to us, I immediately ordered a manhunt for her captors and it indeed paid off,” he said. “The widow, which is hale and hearty, has been united with her family, who were so worried over her safety.”
Her kidnappers had on Sunday called her family and demanded N10 million ransom to secure her release.
Also, a reliable family source who confirmed Ms Jimoh’s release on Tuesday said, ”we are so grateful to the Almighty God for the safe return of our sister and wife.”
The mother of four was abducted while waiting for an Okada (commercial motorcycle) after a morning prayer session at the church in Lokoja.
