Rev. Mike Ochigbo, the General Overseer of the Freedom Power Chapel International, has been abducted.

One of the church’s pastors, identified as John Moses, was also whisked away by the yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

The church is a new-generation church with headquarters in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

Sources said on Wednesday that the two clerics were attacked and abducted at Rev. Ochigbo’s residence in the Nyibango area of Yola on Tuesday night.
