At least three Christian worshippers were killed in an attack by bandits in Bakinpah-Maro, a community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The incident took place during a church service on Sunday.
The armed bandits targeted two churches—Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) and a Catholic church—kidnapping 31 people, including a pastor. The assailants arrived around 10 a.m. and opened fire, causing panic among worshippers.
Cafra Caino, a former chairman of Kajuru LGA, confirmed the tragic event, stating that the bandits stormed the area in large numbers and shot indiscriminately. Among the kidnapped was Pastor Bernard Gajera from one of the attacked churches.
Attempts to reach the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Munir Hassan, for more information were unsuccessful.
