Eight Nigerian Christians of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) who were abducted by gunmen one month ago have just been released.
Gunmen reportedly abducted the Christians as they traveled to a “Let’s Go a Fishing” Easter outreach program. It is unknown who abducted the pastors or whether they are affiliated with any terror organizations. It is also unknown whether a ransom was paid for their release. However, the Nigerian government has a no-ransom policy, which they have told their citizens.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs’ Samuel Aruwan said in a statement, “The position of the Kaduna State Government remains the same: The Government will not negotiate with or pay ransoms to bandits.”
