Abductors free Ekiti Catholic priest

Akingbade

After a week in captivity, a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Akingbade, was yesterday freed by his abductors. 
He was kidnapped by three gunmen about 8pm on June 9 in the Mission House of St. Benedict’s Catholic Church, Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State. 

Akingbade is the priest in charge of St. Benedict’s Catholic Church, Ido-Ekiti and also the assistant director of the Legal Department of the diocese’s Justice Development and Peace Initiative (JDPI). 
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Alberto Adeyemi, could not be reached for comment on the release of the priest.
The Catholic Bishop of the diocese, Most Rev. Felix Ajakaye, who confirmed Akingbade’s release to journalists in Ado-Ekiti, said the abductors demanded a ransom of N200 million. He, however, said that nothing was paid before the priest regained his freedom. But the bishop was silent on how the priest regained his freedom.
