At least 20 worshippers have been kidnapped following a violent attack on an Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Kogi State, with one person confirmed dead, according to local sources.
The attack occurred during a church gathering, when armed assailants reportedly stormed the area, opened fire, and forcefully abducted several worshippers before fleeing the scene. The incident has thrown the affected community into panic and mourning.
Residents have condemned the attack, describing it as a disturbing reflection of worsening insecurity and the growing targeting of places of worship. The incident has reignited concerns over the safety of civilians, particularly during religious activities.
Community leaders and faith-based organisations are calling for urgent intervention by security agencies to rescue the abducted victims and prevent further attacks. They have also urged the government to act decisively to protect lives and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
