Kidnappers Release Delta Prophet After Receiving N10million Ransom
2022-01-03
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

A holy man in Delta State, Prophet Jay Jay Enejeta, who was kidnapped last Thursday by some button men, has been sprung by his abductors.

A report by PUNCH confirmed that Enejeta, who is the General Overseer of Faith Fasting and Prayer Ministry in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area, was released on Saturday evening at Samagidi community.

According to sources, the kidnappers released Prophet Enejeta after receiving a sum of N10million as ransom.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
this was not without an exchange of gunfire between the kidnappers said to be Fulani
... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity...
herdsmen and the hunters.

The kidnappers had reportedly demanded N20million initially but after pressures from security operatives and the combined team of vigilante, hunters and members of the anti-cult group, the criminals accepted the N10million, which was hurriedly mobilised by the clergyman’s family and associates.

Enejeta had been kidnapped last Thursday night while returning home after a church programme while his wife Pastor Ruth Enejeta, was rubbed out during the incident.

The holy man has been hospitalised at an undisclosed hospital in Eku where he is presently recuperating.
