Pastor Oyedepo: How a Phone Call Forced Kidnappers to Release His Pastor

As Nigerians battle rising insecurity, Pastor David Oyedepo shared how a single phone call secured the freedom of one of his kidnapped church leaders. He told the abductors: “Return him in 24 hours or you are dead.” His firm warning reportedly made the kidnappers abandon their plan on the spot. He also recounted another incident where kidnappers released a female member without ever phoning him. She calmly informed them, “My father said I’ll be out by 7am.” Pastor Oyedepo credits their own fear for her safe return.
