The Boko Haram has freed Rev. Polycarp Zango, a pastor with the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State.

 The pastor, Zango, was abducted by the terrorist group on October 19, 2020, while on a journey to a Ministers’ conference in Gombe.

Recall that recently the terrorist group had released a video showing the COCIN pastor in their custody.

His words: “We have good news! Rev. Zango has been released from Boko Haram custody. It is celebration galore in the Church right now,” He didn’t say whether ransome was paid before Zango was released.
