Gunmen attack the ECWA Church in Kogi, killing one and kidnapping two others

Unidentified gunmen attacked the ECWA church in Kogi State, killing one person and kidnapping two more.

The church is in the Kogi State town of Okadayo-Kabba, along the Okene road.

The attack comes just days after a break-in at the Federal minimum correctional center in Kabba and the kidnapping of three poultry farmers at their farm in the same area.

According to reports, unidentified gunmen opened fire on worshippers during a church service, killing one person on the spot.

Two other people who were shot, according to an eyewitness who requested anonymity, are currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

According to him, Chief J.O.T Oshadumo, the Pioneer Provost of College of Education Technical Kabba, and another person were kidnapped, while his wife and some students were shot.

Attempts to contact DSP William Aya, the Police Public Relations Officer, for more information were unsuccessful because he was said to be in church.
