Relief and thanksgiving echoed across Ikorodu on Tuesday night following the release of Shedrack Abiodun Ayantunji, who regained his freedom at about 9:00 p.m. Nigerian time. His return comes after 72 hours of uncertainty that left his family, friends, and parishioners of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) Ikorodu 1 Parish in fervent prayer and deep concern.
Family members confirmed that Shedrack is expected to reunite fully with his loved ones in the coming hours. They described the last three days as the most difficult moments of their lives, marked by fear, sleepless nights, and countless calls from well-wishers.
In a statement, the Ayantunji family expressed their appreciation to Rev. Pastor E.M.F. Oshoffa, Pastor of the CCC Worldwide, for standing by them throughout the ordeal. According to them, Rev. Oshoffa not only prayed with the family but also supported them financially with a generous contribution of N2 million. The family described the gesture as an answer to prayer and a reflection of true spiritual leadership.
Parishioners at CCC Ikorodu 1 Parish also played a vital role in rallying around the family. Prayer sessions were held around the clock, and financial contributions were mobilized to assist. The parish leaders said the release of Shedrack was evidence that God still answers the cries of His people when they come together in unity.
The community’s response underscored the strong spirit of togetherness in the Celestial Church. For many, the news of Shedrack’s release was not only a family victory but also a testimony that faith and solidarity remain powerful forces in times of trial.
Several parishioners who spoke after the announcement said they were moved by the resilience of the family and the leadership of Rev. Oshoffa. One parish member explained that the collective prayers offered during the 72 hours became a rallying point that strengthened the faith of everyone involved.
The family of Shedrack Abiodun Ayantunji has promised to share more details about his experience in due course. For now, they are focused on reuniting and giving thanks for his safe return. They also extended their gratitude to everyone across the church community and beyond who showed love, offered prayers, or contributed financially during the period of uncertainty.
As news of the release spreads, members of the Celestial Church and the larger Ikorodu community are celebrating the safe return of one of their own, describing the moment as both historic and deeply spiritual. For the Ayantunji family, it is a fresh reminder that in the face of trials, faith, love, and unity can truly overcome fear and despair.
