A devastating attack on two churches in Bakinpah-Maro community, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, left three worshippers dead and 30 others kidnapped on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
It was learnt that the gunmen targeted an ECWA and Catholic Church around 10 a.m. during service.
According to Cafra Caino, former Chairman of Kajuru LGA, "The terrorists attacked the churches during service, killing three people and abducting many others. The community is in shock, and we urge the authorities to take immediate action to rescue the kidnapped victims."
Locals expressed their fear and frustration, calling for increased security measures. "We urge the government to take decisive action to address the security challenges in our community. We cannot continue to live in fear of bandits and kidnappers," a resident pleaded.
An eyewitness described the scene as "horrific," saying, "When the bandits arrived in large numbers, many worshippers fled the church. It was a horrendous sight. We were helpless as we watched the bandits wreak havoc."
The community urges authorities to intensify efforts to protect lives and property, especially in southern Kaduna. "We can only call on both the state and federal governments... to continue to try harder for the safety of lives and property."
