…inside moves to evade abduction

Details coming the way of societynowng.com have it, Pastors have initiated moves to increase security consciousness around them – and they ministries.

This development is said to be fallout out of increased in numbers of abductions of men of the word for ransom by kidnappers.

‘’yes it is true but it is not something that is open to all’’ a source confirmed enquiry by societynowng.com. Digs revealed the fears of the pastors concerned lay in the possibility that a grab of a popular preacher for big money is very huge if the tide of abductions is not brought to a drastic halt.

Societynowng.com gathered while some pastors are reluctant to show obvious lack with increase in ‘’physical protection’’ around their persons and ministries – their devoted church members are passionately pushing for putting security measures in place.

‘’Look around most of the churches…you will see increase in activities of patrol vehicles, check points and security operatives…this is outside of the efforts of church members positioned in strategic places to scout for suspicious movements’’ a keen watcher of events pointed out.

Checks by societynowng.com confirmed this development with some popular ministries, as well as moderately known preachers.

Information available revealed the Pastors became soft targets of abductions for money based on well to do lifestyles of many of them – and huge numbers of congregants of others.

‘’the abductors are operating on two fronts, either the target has personal money or his congregants would raise the money..either way the demands would be met’’ a source analysed.

A source however offered specific way out ‘’ two things need to happen to combat this ironic development..the pastors need to dispel all hints of flamboyance by reverting to soul winning as against preaching and living a life of wealth and abundance to be emulated their faithfuls and security agencies need to clamp down hard on the criminals behind this acts and make a good example of them’’

Another observer of the emerging scenario has this to say ‘’it is really ironic that pastors are now been forced to take extra measures to protect themselves…these are people that ordinarily should have nothing to fear because of their calling and the grace they enjoy’’
