Gunmen Storm Winners Chapel, Kidnap Pastor During Prayer Session

PASTOR Seyi Adekunle of Living Faith Church, aka
Winners Chapel was on Saturday evening
abducted by gunmen who invaded the church
while he and other pastors were having prayer
session in the church in preparation for Sunday
services.
The gunmen numbering five were said to have
stormed the church at about 7.50 pm when the
pastors were praying in the main auditorium of
the church and shot sporadically into the air
before grabbing the pastor and bundling him into
their car and drove off.
"Normally on Saturdays, we have a number of
activities but the pastors prayer session comes
last, it was while the session was in progress that
the boys came in, shot into the air and took our
pastor away". A source in the church told
Vanguard.
Pastor Seyi who is the head pastor of Province
Two of the Church located along IBB Way,
opposite the Margaret Ekpo International Airport
according to our source has been in charge of the
church since 2014 and has been carrying out
massive construction work in the crouch.
'He came here in 2014 and has been doing a lot
work through the construction of a massive
complex for the church auditorium and office
accommodation which might have given the
kidnappers the impression that he has money to
give them as ransom".
When Vanguard visited the church at about 1.00
pm on Sunday afternoon, the second service in
the church was in progress handled by Pastor
Seyi's assistants and there was police presence
outside inside the hall and in the premises.
"There was no policeman on duty here yesterday
when the incident happened but this morning we
had to request for some policemen from the
Airport Police Station close by and these six
policemen you see here were deployed to forestall
any recurrence of what took place last night"
Mr Hogan Bassey, the spokesman of the Cross
River State Police Command says the kidnappers
are yet to make any demands "but we are closing
on them and very soon I shall inform you on how
far we have gone" he said
