General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Enoch Adeboye has met with Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
The duo met on Tuesday at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House in Kaduna.
The meeting comes days after Adeboye, 79, revealed that eight members of his church who were kidnapped in Kaduna had been released.
The Kaduna State Government tweeted about the meeting.
Adeboye later tweeted, saying: “Earlier today, I decided to go out of my schedule to see my Children who God delivered from the den of the kidnappers while they were on their way to the venue of the Lets Go Fishing Exercise. To the Glory of God, they are hail and healthy.
“Before leaving, The Governor appealed to me to visit the State house in Kaduna to pray for the state, its people and its leadership for peace and protection after laying hands on my Children who were sick. It is my prayer that the peace of and kingdom of God will be established in Kaduna State and our nation Nigeria and all locations where the children of God are across the world in JESUS name (AMEN).”
The affected RCCG members of Region 30, Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna were attacked on March 26 near Doka along the Kachia-Kafanchan Road on their way to a programme.
Several other attacks have occurred in Kaduna. On March 11, bandits invaded the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation Mando in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State and abducted 39 students.
About 10 of them have been freed.
