Terrorists on Tuesday attacked a Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku town in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The terrorists killed three worshippers and abducted several others, including the pastor.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the attackers invaded the church during a meeting and immediately opened fire, sending worshippers running for cover.
Three members were shot dead on the spot before the assailants seized an unspecified number of people.
“The gunmen came in suddenly and started shooting. Three people were killed instantly,” one source said. “They gathered others at gunpoint and marched them into the bush. We still don’t know the exact number taken.”
The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths that connect Eruku to neighbouring communities, leaving residents in panic and confusion.
