In a chilling escalation of violence, the sanctity of worship has been brutally desecrated in Kaduna, leaving a trail of death, destruction, and despair. The recent attacks on ECWA and Catholic churches, resulting in the senseless killing of three innocent lives and the abduction of a pastor and 30 others, are a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked terrorism. As the people of Kaduna cry out for justice and protection, it is imperative that we confront the evil forces perpetuating this carnage and demand swift action from our leaders to safeguard the freedom to worship and the very fabric of our society.

At least three Christian worshipers have been killed following an unprovoked attack by daredevil bandits in Bakinpah-Maro, a community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

About 31 persons, including a pastor, were also kidnapped when the assailants launched the attack, targeting ECWA and Catholic churches in the community.

According to DAILY POST, the incident occurred on Sunday during a church service.

Also, the LEADERSHIP reported that a former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the unfortunate incident.

Caino said the bandits, who arrived around 10 am in large numbers, shot sporadically, targeting the two churches in the community.

He disclosed that a pastor of one of the churches, Bernard Gajera, was among those kidnapped by the criminal elements.

The Kaduna State Police Public Relations is yet to comment on that
