Gunmen, who abducted the wife of the Anglican Bishop of Ikeduru Diocese in Imo State, Anuri Maduwuike, has set her free.
She was released after an undisclosed amount of money was purportedly paid as ransom.
The Bishop’s wife who was waylaid and abducted on Friday at Ekemele while she was going home from Owerri, was let go on Sunday by her abductors.
A source in the church who does not want his name in print told Punch on Monday that the kidnappers had earlier demanded N8m ransom.
The source said “To the glory of God, our bishop’s wife has been released. She was released on Sunday. Her kidnappers had initially demanded an N8m ransom.”
“God answered our prayer and she was released unhurt. She has been reunited with her family. It was not a happy moment for the Church of God. The diocese was in a sad mood until she was released.”
