A pastor of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God who was
kidnapped 10 months ago escaped from Boko Haram militants in Borno on Tuesday according
to reports by Sahara Reporters.
Pastor Rotimi Obajimi, who served
as a pastor in the rural area of Borno/Yobe province, was on his way to Maiduguri on January 6th this year when
Boko Haram militants abducted him.
According to a pastor in Redeem
church in Maiduguri ,they were surprised to see Mr. Obajimi emerge from
nowhere, he said, “we were so amazed to see him because we have been praying
earnestly for long time trusting Jesus that he would surely come back but lo
and behold he was brought to our headquarters in Maiduguri by the military.”
The pastor told his colleagues
that he was taken to Sambisa Forest where he was tied down for months, he was
later moved to an unknown destination
and thereafter brought back to Sambisa forest again. He reportedly
told his colleagues that his escape was made possible by a heavy downpour that
led to massive floods which sacked everyone in the camps.
Due to the rains, armed men left
him and others so he was able to escape and for days he wandered in the forest before he could arrive
to a village where the military picked him up after narrating his experiences
to them, they later brought him to Maiduguri.
He was later driven to Maimallari Hospital by
military escorts,who had his face covered.
