BREAKING: Three dead, 30 kidnapped in bandit attack on Kaduna churches

Bandits attacked a church service in the Bakinpah-Maro community of the Kajuru local government area in Kaduna state on Sunday, leaving three people feared dead and 30 others reported kidnapped.

Although the Police authorities were yet to comment, the former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the incident, noting that the assailants, who arrived in large numbers around 10:00 am, targeted both an ECWA church and a Catholic church.

Among those abducted is Bernard Gajera, a pastor from one of the churches. The police have yet to release a statement on the attack

The Nation recalled that last month, the Maro community had raised funds to build a security post for law enforcement as part of their efforts to attract more security personnel, following repeated attacks that have kept farmers from their fields.
