Three worshippers killed as bandits attack church camp in Nasarawa

 

A bandit attack on a church camp in Nyanya, a town in Nasarawa, has left three worshippers dead.

The bandits attacked the camp of the Divine Majesty Worship Ministry in the town last Monday.

Ramhan Nansel, Nasarawa police spokesperson, confirmed the incident to TheCable on Sunday.

Nansel said the church housed financially constrained worshippers in a hostel on the same premises.

 

He noted that the bandits broke into the hostel at a time when the worshippers were holding a prayer vigil at night, killing three persons and abducting many others for an N100 million ransom.

The police spokesperson said the abducted persons were rescued within 48 hours and were reunited with their families.
