The Rt Revd Oluwaseun Aderogba, bishop of the Jebba Diocese of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, and his wife, were on Sunday evening, 12 June 2022, kidnapped by unknown gunmen along the Ogbomoso/Oyo road.
Details about how they were kidnapped came through the chaplain who spoke of how he escaped by whiskers;
Nigeria now a Banana republic-Anglican Bishop
”We were traveling from Jebba to Oyo when it was few kilometres to Oyo, our vehicle developed a fault. My Lord bishop called the Lord bishop of Oyo Bishop Aladekugbe for help. However, before the help surfaced, some armed men surrounded them and ordered them into the bush. I was lucky I was not visible because of my black cassock I fell flat on my belly to hide myself while they marched my bishop and wife deep into the forest”.
The newspot learned how Bishop Aladekugbe rose to the occasion to alert the Leadership of the church Most Revd Henry Ndukuba and other members of the house of bishops.
It took hours to hear from the abductors through the wife of the bishop whom they allowed to speak for few seconds with one of the bishops asking for N50m ransom.
