Bandits had attacked a Cherubim and Seraphim church on Sunday during service in Ejiba and kidnapped the pastor and several worshippers.
Mr Fanwo said the state government and the security operatives have taken drastic measures to rescue the kidnapped victims.
The commissioner said the operation reflects the agency’s resolve to maintain environmental standards and protect public health in the state.
Ms Ajayi said during the rally that the Holy Spirit brought comfort to the churches.
“The suspect has confessed to commission of the crime during interrogation.’’
