Abducted General Overseer of Divine Winners Ministry International, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Prophet Confidence Ozor, has regained his freedom in Owerri, Imo State, after the payment of N5 million ransom.
Ozor was abducted near Owerri last Thursday by some armed men while attending a crusade.
The Yenagoa-based man of God was freed on Tuesday after spending five days with his abductors.
The cleric said the gunmen confessed to him that they were hired to kill him because of his overwhelming spiritual powers which had attracted many members to his church within his short stay in the state.
He said: "I travelled to my village with my team last Thursday. On that day I also stopped by to see my godson in Irete town, it is very close to Owerri, the capital of Imo State. He was preparing for his birthday that was coming up on October 17. I was supposed to be one of the guest speakers at the event.
"As I was looking at the posters, six men just barged on us and forced us into my car but my car did not start; they forced us out to my godson's car and took us away.
"Immediately, they started beating us and collected all our belongings, blindfolded us and took us to a desert. On getting to their destination they started asking us how much we have in our account and all of that.
"When we said we did not have any money in our account they continued with the beating. In fact, they fired five shots at us but I don't know what happened but it did not enter, at that point they asked us what kind of charms we are using.
"They went back to search the car and saw bottles of olive oil and the Bible. They broke the olive oil and threw the Bible into the bush, came back to us and started using the head of the gun on us.
