Saheed Adisa was killed during a fight between security agents and suspected kidnappers of his church members
A Pentecostal church pastor killed during a gunfight between security officials and kidnappers in July in Ogun State has been posthumously cleared of involvement with the kidnappers.
However, three months later, the commander of the agency, Soji Ganzallo, said on Monday at a press conference he held at the headquarters of the agency in Abeokuta that Mr Adisa was killed in error. “The kidnapping case took place on July 15th 2023 at Abule Ori in Obafemi-Owode Local Government,” Mr Ganzallo narrated. “So-Safe-Corps rescued seven church members kidnapped. Ironically, during the crossfire with the bandits, the pastor was hit by bullets.”His family members at the press conference denied the speculation that the cleric was a member of the kidnap gang.
