INTRODUCTION
Distinguished Gentlemen of the Press,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Beloved Brothers and Sisters.
It is with immense joy and gratitude to Almighty God, the Great Deliverer of the oppressed, that
His Most Eminence, Prophet (Dr.) Emmanuel Abiodun Adewale Alogbo (JP), formally announces
the release and safe return of our 151 members who were abducted from Iburu, Kajuri Local
Government Area, Kaduna State, on January 18, 2026.
This joyous news was confirmed today, Monday, February 2, 2026, through a detailed report by
our Liaison Officer in Kaduna, Senior Special Apostle I. A. Adeyemi, and Senior Special Apostle
Pastor Solomon Katanga.
A VICTORY FOR DIALOGUE AND PRAYER
This is a testament to the power of unwavering faith and the efficacy of strategic engagement.
Following my emergency visit to Kaduna and subsequent high-level deliberations, we have
witnessed the intervention of God through human instruments to bring our children, parents, and
worshippers back from the shadows of captivity.
SPECIAL COMMENDATION TO THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF KADUNA STATE
On behalf of the Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide Ayo Ni O and the entire body
of Christ, I wish to express our profound appreciation to the Executive Governor of Kaduna State,
His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, Mr. Sani Liman Kila, the Chief of Staff to the Executive Governor;
Rev. Ishaya Jangado, the Senior Special Assistant on Religious Affairs (Christian Matters)
I specifically extend gratitude to the Governor through his Chief of Staff and the Senior Special
Adviser (SSA) to the Executive Governor on Christian Matters for the reception and the sincere
synergy established during our meeting. The Governor’s commitment to dialogue, his
responsiveness to our cries, and the seamless coordination of state resources played a pivotal role
in this breakthrough. This successful outcome demonstrates the possibilities when religious
leadership and the State collaborate in transparency and mutual respect for the safety of all
citizens.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GLOBAL SUPPORT
We acknowledge the prayers of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the President of the
Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), His Most Eminence, Prophet Akin Adewo, FCA,
the international community, and believers worldwide who stood with us in the gap.
MOVING FORWARD
While we celebrate this return, we remain mindful of the trauma these 151 souls have endured.
The Church has already mobilized its welfare and medical teams to provide immediate psychosocial
support and care for our returned members and their families.
We continue to pray for the peace of Kaduna State and Nigeria at large. Let this be a turning point
for our nation—where light triumphs over darkness, and where the safety of every Nigerian,
regardless of their place of worship, becomes an unshakable reality.
“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.” (Psalm 126:3)”
