Unknown gunmen abduct worshippers, kill pastor in an attack on a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi state.
The state Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, made the confirmation in a statement on Sunday in Lokoja, where he strongly condemned the incident.
The community was said to have been thrown into chaos on Sunday morning after armed bandits launched an attack during the church service.
According to Fanwo, he said; “Those who struck at Ejiba must have been hiding in the community for some days or in bushes around the village.
“Some villagers would have seen them and kept quiet. If you refuse to raise alarms when you see strange faces at a time like this, who knows who will be victims of their madness?
“We all need to be security-conscious at this time. We also need to volunteer intelligence.”
