The abductors of the chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Nasarawa State chapter, Bishop Joseph Masin, finally granted him his freedom after four days on captivity.
Masin, who is the General Overseer of the World of God Worldwide Gospel City, was abducted last Thursday by gunmen in Lafia.
The state Commissioner of Police (CP) Bola Longe confirmed his release to newsmen on Sunday in Lafia.
Longe said that four suspects have been arrested in connection with the abduction and that investigation was ongoing to arrest all those involved.
He, however, denied knowledge of any ransom being paid to secure the release of the CAN chairman.
The CP added that all the suspects would be charged to court for prosecution as soon as investigation was concluded.
Corroborating the release, Pastor Sam Joseph, son of the CAN Chairman told newsmen that his father regained his freedom at about 11:45 p.m. on Saturday, around Lizhi village in Nasarawa-Eggon Local Government Area of the state.
He said the bishop, however, arrived his Bukan-sidi residence in Lafia at about 2 a.m on Sunday and had been taken to an undisclosed hospital for medical examination.
