“When they took me to their den, they demanded for 100 million ransom from me before I could be released, and when I could not afford that amount, they torture me severely, calling me Pastor E.A Adeboye of RCCG.

“They insisted that I was Pastor Adeboye and maintained that I must produce N100 million and keep torturing me.
