Mr Adeboye in a post on his Twitter account on Thursday said the released members have been taken to the hospital for proper checkup.
“Today I got the exciting news that our brethren who were in captivity of kidnappers have all been released and taken to the Hospital for checkup and tests,” his tweet read.
“Glory be to Jesus. We pray for lasting peace in all troubled regions of the country in Jesus name.”
It is not clear if any ransom was paid but reports suggest the kidnappers had contacted the church and demanded N50 million as ransom.
