While being interviewed by newsmen, the Cleric, who said he had spent over 20 years in the ministry, stated;
“I was ordained as a pastor by Bishop Abayomi in Ibadan in 2014. We do a lot of charity in my church and during this COVID-19 pandemic period, I didn't have anything in my account and people were still coming for help.
“We needed money to buy foodstuffs and ram for this Sallah and that was why I decided to source money from these companies by kidnapping their staff.”
Job, the victim, recounted his ordeal to newsmen, saying he spent ten days in captivity inside an underground hole, which they called 'Special Guest House'. He also explained how he was subdued and injected.
“When I got to the church to deliver the items, they put a rope around my neck from the back and I started struggling to free myself from the rope.
“When they finally brought me down, the pastor injected me and that was the only thing I remember.
“They were feeding me with garri, sugar, beans, coke and water. I spent about nine days in that hole and was rescued by the police on the tenth day. I have never experienced such a thing like that before.”
