Reverend Polycarp Zongo of the Church of Christ in Nigeria just released from captivity, came out to a big surprise - he has more family members than before his abduction.
Rev. Zongo was kidnapped by the ISWAP faction of Boko Haram in October of 2020 while enroute to Gombe in northeast Nigeria.
Efforts to obtain his release failed for eight months as a high ransom payments was unaffordable. However during that eight months in captivity, a surprise was brewing for the 43 year old captive pastor.
The release was finally obtained through the diligent efforts of Ms Ummu Kalthum Muhammed, Chairperson and Founder of Kalthum for Peace Foundation, an NGO, herself a nursing mother.
