A Bishop of the Anglican Church, Rt Rev Oluwaseun Aderogba of Jebba Diocese and his wife have been kidnapped.
The cleric and his wife were abducted by unknown gunmen on Sunday evening along Ogbomoso/Oyo road.
The Bishop’s Chaplain who was with them during the incident managed to escape from the scene.
Speaking to the New Telegraph, the chaplain said: “We were traveling from Jebba to Oyo when it was a few kilometers to Oyo our vehicle developed a fault.
“My Lord Bishop called the Lord bishop of Oyo Bishop Aladekugbe for help.
“However, before help could come, some armed men surrounded and ordered them into the bush. I was lucky. They didn’t see me 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.”
Reports says the kidnappers are asking for N50m ransom before they will release the cleric and his wife.
