The Anglican Bishop of Jebba Diocese, Kwara State, Rt. Rev. Oluwaseun Aderogba, and his wife have been abducted by gunmen.
His driver was also taken by the hoodlums who struck on the new Oyo-Ogbomoso Expressway in Oyo State.
The bishop and his wife were said to be travelling from Yewa, Ogun State, to Jebba, Kwara State, when their car developed a fault at a lonely section of the road around 8.30pm on Sunday.
Before long, the gun-wielding hoodlums swooped on them and dragged them into the forest.
Sources said their abductors demanded a ransom of N50m.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the bishop’s chaplain, Rev. Adekunle Adeluwa, escaped from the hoodlums.
