President of the United Church of Christ in Nigeria, Rev. Emmanuel Dziggau and two other clergymen who were abducted along Kaduna – Abuja Expressway by armed gunmen have regained their freedom after ten days in captivity.
A senior top official of United Church of Christ who pleaded anonymity said Dziggau and Dzarma were freed on Wednesday in the night while the corpse of Rev. Anto was found, almost decomposing in the bush.
According to him, the two clergy men were immediately taken to a private hospital in Kaduna after they were brought to the church along Katsina Road, Kaduna.
“They were not looking too good and as soon as they brought them, a decision was taken that they needed to see a doctor, so they were taken to a private hospital in Kaduna for medical check up, but I will not tell you the hospital because they need some rest.
“We don’t want people to disturb them until they are psychologically and physically fit to see people,” the source explained.
According to him, “they person who went to collect them drove them on a bike from where they dropped them for four hours before they could reach a motorable road.This is very traumatic and they need some rest.”
Dziggau, Rev. Yakubu Dzarma and Rev.Iliya Anto were abducted on March 21 along the Kaduna – Abuja Express Way where they had gone to clear a piece of land for the foundation of the church seminary.
However, Rev. Iliya Anto was said to have died after he was left in the bush by the kidnappers following his health condition.
