after conducting Sunday service.

government area after exchanging gunfire with his abductors.

when the firing power of the police and hunters became unbearable for the
abductors
In the process, one of the hostage takers who
sustained bullet wound was arrested.
The state Police spokesman, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, who
confirmed the operation, said Agubi was rescued at about 7:30p.m.
