THE Senator who represented Ekiti North between 2007 and 2011, Ayo Arise, on Sunday held a thanksgiving mass at the SS Peter and Paul Catholic Pro-Cathedral Church in his native Oye-Ekiti community to thank God for his release from the kidnappers’ den. He said he had to thank God, the people of his community, friends and well-wishers because after his experience “someone was kidnapped and was still killed even after paying N25million twice, as ransom. So I have doubts in my mind that even if jobs are provided for those ones, would that be as lucrative as kidnapping one person or two people and collecting N20million. So that is one of the things that touched me to the marrow. My friends rallied round; the people of the town are showing appreciation for having a son that believes in them.”He said “prayers worked, money worked and everything worked.
