Masin was kidnapped in his house on Wednesday May 27, 2020.
The CAN Secretariat released a press statement demanding for his immediate release calling on all and sundry to facilitate this.
The statement then noted that Masin was released “on Saturday 30th May 2020 at the vigil of the Pentecost Sunday”.
The body thanked Church members of Bishop Masin, for their faith in God, the Federal Government, the Nasarawa State Government, the Nigerian Police Force and the Media for their efforts and concerns.
The body prayed that God will change the hearts of bandits all over the country and give courage to our leaders to fight in order to put an end to the menace.
It then called on all churches to be more security conscious and to ensure adequate security of our pastors and leaders, in order to prevent a re-occurrence.
