Some of the 77 worshippers rescued from the basement of a church in Ondo State have refused to be reunited with their families.
Recall MAD had reported that the worshippers, including children, were rescued from the basement on the premises of The Whole Bible Believers’ Church, also known as Ondo Church, in the Valentino area of Ondo Town.
Some of the parents whose children were in the congregation without their consent had reported the case to the police.
The church was said to be holding a seven-day retreat when the police stormed its premises last Friday. Seventy-seven people comprising 26 children, eight teenagers, and 43 adults were rescued as some of them were reportedly held for about three weeks.
