LEADERSHIP recalls that 45-year-old Sullivan was taken at gunpoint last Thursday while delivering a sermon at the Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell outside the coastal city of Gqeberha.

South African police announced on Wednesday that police officers, while acting on a tip-off had approached a house in the KwaMagxaki District of Gqeberha the previous day.

The suspects tried to flee in a vehicle as they approached, opening fire on officers, said the police statement.

In the ensuing shoot-out, the three suspects were fatally wounded, and Sullivan was rescued, “miraculously unharmed”, from the exact vehicle, the statement added.
