The funds, he noted, were raised by the Methodist church in Nigeria.
He also claimed that neither the Federal nor State Government, nor the military or police intervened.
The cleric was kidnapped on Sunday in Abia State but was released on Monday.
The Prelate had been kidnapped alongside two others, the Bishop of Methodist Church, Owerri Diocese, and the Prelate’s chaplain.
They were reportedly whisked away at about 2 pm on their way from a church program in Okigwe Imo State to Isuochi in Umu Nneochi Local Government Area of Abia State.
