Kaduna (Nigeria) — Two pastors of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) who were kidnapped on 21st October, 2016 along Kaduna-Abuja express way have been set free by their abductors.
The Duo, Pastor Joshua Kantiok and Pastor Yakubu Samaila, of ECWA Kakuri, a suburb community of Kaduna metropolis in North-west Nigeria, said they were kidnapped in their farm by armed men around Dakin takwas which is about 342 kilometres along Kaduna- Abuja express way.
