In the footage, the cleric told his congregation how one of his pastors was kidnapped and how he intervened after speaking directly with the abductors.

“Give them the phone… I commanded them to release him within 24 hours,” Oyedepo said.

He added that the situation became tense after his warning, claiming the kidnappers became unsettled.

Claims of unusual reaction

Oyedepo further stated that the abductors reportedly began acting erratically following the threat, while the victim was later instructed to leave the location and return home.
