GBEGE!!! Gunmen Storm Winners Chapel, Abduct 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
