Popular Ibadan Cleric, Sheikh Taofeeq Akeugbagold, whose twin children were kidnapped in Ojoo, Ibadan at gunpoint on Saturday 25th of April, have now been reunited with him, OYOGist.com has gathered.
OYOGist.com recalls that the Cleric cried out to members of the public when he revealed that the kidnappers requested a ransom of £100,000 to release his children.
On Sunday, the 3rd of May, 2020, the cleric announced to the public that his two children have been returned to him along a “bush side”. He shared the news on his Facebook page, accompanied with the picture of his wife carrying the twins.
“ALHAMDULILLAH! AT 5.30AM OF SUNDAY 3RD MAY, MY ABDUCTED TWIN KIDS ARE RELEASED TO ME BESIDE A BUSH AFTER 8DAYS IN AN UNKNOWN LAND. THANKS TO U ALL FOR FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT,” Sheikh Akeugbagold posted on Facebook.
The Cleric did not reveal if the kidnappers were eventually paid a ransom to facilitate the release of his children.
We wish the family love as they are united once again.
