YENAGOA—The kidnapped pastor of Redeemed Christian Church, RCCG, New Anointing Chapel, Yenagoa, Pastor Mark Christmas, has been released after 20 days in captivity.
Pastor Christmas was abducted on October 19 alongside two others, in his home town of Biseingbene, a riverine community in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
Christmas, who spoke with newsmen in Yenagoa yesterday, described his release as miraculous, stressing that no ransom was paid.
He said: “I was released on November 5 after spending three weeks in the den of the abductors; it was an awkward experience.
“I was kidnapped on October 19 in my home town, Biseingbene, with two other people from my community; among them were the community Chairman, Mr. Amos Ezetu, and Mr. ThankGod Geregere. It was a horrible experience.
“On the way to their den, our boat capsized. I was able to swim to safety and tried to escape, but was recaptured and beaten up mercilessly.
“However, I am happy to be free and can be with my family once again.”
