The Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, confirms that its abducted clergy, Reverend Sunday Agang, has regained his freedom after being kidnapped by suspected gunmen in Plateau State.
The church announces his release with relief and gratitude, describing the development as a positive outcome after days of uncertainty and concern among members and the wider Christian community.
According to Mediaplusng.com, the cleric is now safe and in stable condition, following his release from captivity after intense prayers and public appeals for his freedom.
Reverend Agang is reportedly abducted earlier in the week at his residence in Jos, the Plateau State capital, in an attack believed to be carried out by armed men targeting high-profile individuals.
Sources indicate that the gunmen intercept his movement and take him to an unknown destination, creating panic among residents and raising fresh concerns over security in the region.
His abduction triggers widespread reactions, with ECWA congregations across Nigeria and in the diaspora organizing prayer sessions and calling for urgent intervention.
According to Mediaplusng.com, ECWA describes the release of the cleric as a moment of immense joy, emphasizing that collective prayers and faith play a significant role in securing his freedom.
Leaders of the church commend members and supporters who stand in solidarity during the difficult period, noting that unity and faith remain central to overcoming such challenges.
However, ECWA raises serious concerns over the growing wave of kidnappings across Nigeria, describing the trend as alarming and dangerous to national stability.
Church officials state that kidnapping is increasingly becoming a means of livelihood for criminal elements, posing a direct threat to citizens, religious leaders, and communities.
They call on government authorities at all levels to take decisive and urgent action, stressing the constitutional responsibility to protect lives and property.
Security analysts also highlight the significance of the incident, noting that the targeting of religious leaders reflects the increasing boldness of criminal networks operating in vulnerable regions.
They emphasize the need for enhanced intelligence gathering, improved community policing, and stronger collaboration between security agencies to tackle the rising insecurity.
Plateau State, like several parts of Nigeria, continues to experience security challenges, with cases of abduction, banditry, and violent attacks reported in recent times.
Residents express concern that such incidents are becoming more frequent, affecting daily life, economic activities, and public confidence in safety measures.
Despite the ordeal, ECWA maintains a message of hope and resilience, reaffirming its commitment to peace, unity, and continued prayers for the nation.
The church reiterates that the safety of all Nigerians must remain a priority, urging stakeholders to work collectively toward lasting solutions.
As Reverend Agang reunites with his family and congregation, the incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address insecurity and protect citizens across the country.
Observers continue to monitor developments, as calls for improved security and stronger government response intensify across Nigeria.
