BREAKING: Kidnapped Kaduna PFN chairman & Wife gains liberty

Kidnapped Chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Apostle Emmanuel Bako, and his wife, Cindy, have regained freedom.

Gunmen, around 8pm on Christmas day, had invaded the Albarka Prayer Camp at Fadan Kagoma in the Jema’a Local Government Area of the state and snatched the cleric, his wife and one other person, identified as Douglas.

However, a statement on Sunday by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, said Bako and his wife were freed on Sunday.

The commissioner said the PFN secretary in Kaduna State, Rev. Tony Inwulale, also confirmed the development to the government.

Aruwan  said  Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed relief and happiness over the development and offered his best wishes to the cleric and his wife.

However, the commissioner was silent  on Douglas.

“The Kaduna State Government has been informed by the security agencies of the release of Apostle Emmanuel Bako and his wife, Mrs Cindy Bako on Sunday afternoon by their abductors,” the statement reads partly.
