Reverend Polycarp Zongo, a pastor of the Church of Christ in Nations, Jos, Plateau State, who was kidnapped by the Islamic State In West Africa (ISWAP) around Bauchi-Gombe road, has been released, IgbereTV reports.

Pastor Zongo was released on Friday evening, October 30, through an undisclosed process, officials say. Details about his release are yet to be disclosed, however, it was gathered that he communicated with his wife to confirm his release.

The pastor, who went missing while travelling to Gombe State for a conference, had appeared in a video this week saying he was abducted by the Islamic State West Africa Province.

Pastor Zango said he was in the custody of the insurgents alongside two other Christian women, who were also abducted.

In the video, the cleric seen seated behind a prayer mat, said he was abducted on Monday, October 19, 2020.

“My name is Reverend Polycap Zongo and I am a pastor at COCIN LCC Wild Life Park, Plateau State, Nigeria. On October 19, 2020, I was travelling for a conference in Gombe when I was abducted by Boko Haram insurgents who caught me on the road. Right now I am with them," he said.

“I am appealing to the governor of Plateau State, Simon Boko Lalong, and the Senator of Plateau North, Barrister ID Gyang, and the Christian Association of Nigeria and COCIN Church to please help save me from their hands. They also abducted two Christian women who are also here with me, we are appealing to be rescued.” he added.

It is not clear if Miss Fayina Ali, a Kaduna-indigene of Adamawa State, who was also said to have gone missing same Monday he was captured, is among the two Zongo mentioned.

Miss Ali had held her marriage introduction on the weekend of her disappearance. Her wedding with a Air Force personnel is slated for December 2020.

let somebody shout hallelujah

Arrrrrrrh

Glorry !!!!

Let me paste this here too!!
Thank you Lord for his return !!

When I saw the headline, I remember when some good nairaland guys prayed for my friend cousin who was abducted by this infamous Fulani herdsmen.

Glory to God !! They return after presenting N1m as remuneration. Before they requested N 5Om .

According to my friend, let me summarize it, am saying it here to thank God and those who prayed, that God answer prayers.

He told me, as they told him, that the kilometer they walk was more than 4 hours on foot. The bush was far and thick, that if they were given the opportunity to come back that they can't find thier way home. According to them they threaten the living hell outta them, expose them to hazardous condition. Food was like one hand measurements. Some of them told them that it's not Thier will doing that, that as they are in that bush government do bring provision for them like food, guns. They said the guns they are using Nigeria soldiers can't use it. They said alot of things, but one miraculous thing God did was, after then send the money they don't want to allow them, their initial plan was to kill them but one of the boss just like them he wàs the one that brought to the road to find thier way home. In deed God work miracles.

I decree that the plots of the infidels/book haram/Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria won't happen, I pray God save us from this guys.

Pastor Repeat After Me:ORI YO MI..... Truly Ori yo ee because if not Your Chicken would have been roasted

Congratulations

Praise be name of our Lord Jesus!!!

Maybe they needed money and they got it. They might use this to trick people into paying ransom in future kidnapping so that they will end up killing them or they just reformed to normal criminal gang.

ransom have been paid for his release. but still he need to thank his God it's not easy and many have been killed.

Rev. Polycap, I sparogatively thank God for you life!

Even here on Nairaland, many prayed for your safe release and God didn't disappoint as usual!

"The earnest prayer of the righteous availeth much!"

Verdict: So happy reading this, since I read about his kidnap I have been sad as a Christian. Thanks to everyone who said a word of prayer for him, thanks to God almighty too for the release. I should celebrate this with a bottle of dubic.
