Kidnappers have demanded N6million ransom for the release of three worshippers of Cherubim and Seraphim Church at Obada-Oko, in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

It was gathered that the kidnappers stormed the church on Sunday morning while the church members were holding a vigil and whisked them away to an unknown destination.
