Reverend Japhet Obafemi, a clergyman with the main branch of the Apostolic Faith Church in Ikare Akoko, Akoko North Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo State, has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen, SKYTREND NEWS can confirm.

The clergyman was seized and dragged into a parked vehicle along the road in the border between Ondo and Kogi State, SKYTREND NEWS gathered.


The abduction of Mr. Obafemi came exactly 24 hours ‎after the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae, was freed following a ransom paid by his family.

Olu Falae was kidnapped on Monday from his Ilado Farm in Akure North Local Government Area (LGA) of the State by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

Worshipers in the Church, according to Sahara Reporters confirmed that the 70-year-old clergyman ‎was initially declared missing but later learned he was abducted on his way back home.

A minister in the Apostolic Faith Church said that the hoodlums suspected to be the kidnappers contacted the family and are demanding the sum of six million naira.

"The abductors have established contact with the family and even spoke to one of our members. They are demanding from us to pay six million before he could be set free", he was quoted by Sahara Reporters as saying.

SKYTREND NEWS however learnt this morning that Reverend Obafemi's abductors have reduced the ransom to three million naira.

Police Spokesman in Ondo State, Oluwole Ogodo, confirmed the incident but could not give details.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Ikare Police Station, Musliyu Sogbade, said the division has already put machinery and materials in place to rescue the clergyman from his abductors.
