kidnapped Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Samuel Kanu-Uche, has regained his freedom.

The cleric was kidnapped alongside the Methodist Bishop of Owerri, Dennis Mark, and his (the Prelate’s) chaplain on Sunday.

They were kidnapped in the Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.

Details of their release were sketchy as of the time of filing this report.

But a reliable source from the church confirmed their release Monday evening.

“To God be the Glory. His Eminence, Samuel Chukwuemeka Kanu Uche; his Chaplain, Abidemi Jeremiah Shittu and the Bishop of Owerri, Dennis Mark, have regained their freedom few minutes ago. Thank you all for your prayers,” the source said in a short message.
