Terrorists on Tuesday raided a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, in Eruku town, under Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, killing three congregants and abducting numerous others, including the pastor.
The tragedy has reportedly spread alarm and tears around the community.
According to SaharaReporters, the gunmen infiltrated the church during a meeting and promptly began fire, sending worshippers scrambling for shelter.
A video of the incident was also released by the internet news outlet.
It added that three members were reportedly shot dead on the spot before the assailants seized an indeterminate number of persons.
“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 perpetrators apparently retreated through woodland pathways that connect Eruku to neighbouring towns, leaving locals in terror and uncertainty.
As of the time of reporting this article, there hasn’t been any official reaction from the Kwara State Police Command or the state government about the occurrence.
