The source, who is also a member of the church, said the worshippers were mostly choir members.

“At least twenty-five of them were in the bus travelling for the burial programme en route to Ose LGA. They were abducted by the armed men and their bus was abandoned by the roadside,” he said.

Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, police spokesperson in Ondo, confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, saying the police anti-kidnapping squad and other tactical teams had been deployed in the area to rescue the victims.

“The incident happened yesterday (Friday) afternoon, the police were informed that a Church Bus with the Inscription CAC was abandoned around the Elegbeka area and there are suspicions that the passengers in the vehicle were kidnapped.
