A Christian pastor that had been kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram escaped after 10 months in captivity.

Pastor Rotimi Obajimi had been taken to the Sambisa Forest where he was tied down for months.  He was then moved to another location before bring brought back to the Forest where he escaped during a heavy downpour.

“We were so amazed to see him because we have been praying earnestly for a long time trusting Jesus that He would surely come back, but lo and behold he was brought to our headquarters in Maiduguri by the military,” a pastor at Redeem Church in Maiduguri told SaharaReporters.

The pastor is in Maimallari Hospital for treatment and will be debriefed by military officials before he will return to his church.

Boko Haram has been slaughtering Christian pastors so the fact Pastor Obajimi was shocking to Nigerian officials.
