According to witnesses, the gunmen came as worshippers and abducted the pastor right inside the church.
The pastor was said to have been abducted about 7a.m., yesterday at his church, which is located at Santos Bus Stop, Isawo. The abduction of the pastor, whose name is yet not known, is coming on the heels of almost daily attacks, killings and abductions in the Ikorodu axis. It was learnt that because of the RCCG workers’ meeting, which always takes place before the day’s service, the pastor had to be in church earlier. The pastor was preparing to kick start the workers’ meeting when the gunmen walked into the church.
They were said to be gorgeously dressed and were mistaken to be those coming to worship with the church for the first time. The belief was quickly eradicated when they pulled out guns and threatened to shoot anyone who moved. The pastor was whisked away.
A resident said: “We are using this opportunity to cry out to the Lagos State government and the police. This is now a daily occurrence at Isawo, Ikorodu. We are all at the mercy of God.” When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Dolapo Badmos, said she was not aware of the incident.https://newtelegraphonline.com/militants-abduct-rccg-pastor-workers-meeting/
