Abductors who kidnapped the twin children of popular
Ibadan-based Muslim cleric, Sheik Taofeeq Akeugbagold, have released them after
eight days in captivity.
The Sheikh announced the release of his children via his
Facebook page this morning.
“ALHAMDULILLAH! AT 5.30 AM OF SUNDAY 3RD MAY, MY ABDUCTED
TWIN KIDS ARE RELEASED TO ME BESIDE A BUSH AFTER 8DAYS IN AN UNKNOWN LAND.
THANKS TO U ALL FOR FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT, JAZAKUMULLAHU KHAIRAN. ABERE

On Saturday April 25, gunmen stormed Sheik Taofeeq
Akeugbagold's home in Ibadan, Oyo state and abducted his children. They
contacted Taofeeq asking for £100, 000 ransom.
Yesterday when LIB spoke with him, he said he was in talks
with the abductors to reduce the ransom.
