She said that the incident happened in their hometown, Biseingbene, Ekeremor Local Government Area (LGA) in Bayelsa State.

Mrs. Christmas said that her husband had been invited to the community for a meeting by unknown people on the fateful day.

“When he got to the community, he found out that the invitation was not only false but a devilish plan to kidnap him,'' she said.

She said that the pastor had stayed over two weeks in their custody, as they demanded N200,000 for all their phone calls and N300 million as ransom.

“It is over two weeks and I have not heard or seen my husband but some of our family members, who live in the village, told me that they spoke with them.
