In a shocking attack on Sunday, bandits stormed a church service in the Bakinpah-Maro community of Kajuru Local Government Area in Kaduna State, leaving three people feared dead and 30 others kidnapped.
While the police are yet to comment on the incident, former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the attack.
According to him, the assailants, who arrived in large numbers around 10:00 am, targeted both the ECWA and Catholic churches in the community.
Among those abducted is Pastor Bernard Gajera from one of the churches. As of now, no official statement has been released by the police regarding the attack.
This attack comes just a month after the Maro community raised funds to construct a security post, hoping to attract more law enforcement personnel to protect the area from recurring assaults.
These repeated attacks have had a devastating impact on the community, with many farmers forced to abandon their fields due to insecurity.
The ongoing violence in Kajuru highlights the urgent need for increased security measures in the region as residents continue to live in fear.
