Gunmen on Tuesday abducted the founder of the Solid Rock Kingdom Church, Apostle John Okoriko, at Ibekwe Akpan Nya, in the Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
Our correspondent learnt that the hoodlums reached out to the family and demanded a ransom of N100m for his release.
It was gathered that the gunmen scaled through the fence, forced their way into the church compound and shot into the air to scare their victims.
An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent in Uyo on Wednesday that the gang dragged the octogenarian outside the gate and whisked him away.
