Unknown gunmen have abducted the Bishop of Anglican Diocese, Jebba, Kwara State, RT. Aderogba, alongside his wife and driver on Oyo/Ogbomoso expressway, on Sunday.

The victims were said to be on their way to Yewa in Ogun state when the incident happened.

The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the abduction.

Confirming the incident, the Police image maker said the command had launched a manhunt for the suspected kidnappers. He said: “On Sunday 12/06/2022 at about 2100HRS, One Rev. Adekunle Adeluwa reported to the Command through an incident report at Atiba Divisional Police Headquarters, Oyo town that at about 2030HRS, One Bishop Rt. Rev Aderogba of Jebba Diocese, Kwara State in the Company of his Wife and driver was abducted.

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the victim’s vehicle developed what seemed a mechanical fault while traveling from Yewa, Ogun State to Jebba, Kwara State en route to an isolated area along New Oyo/Ogbomoso Expressway.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations of the Command is in charge of the rescue operation that has commenced at 2100HRS on Sunday 12/06/2022.
