On Sunday, bandits launched a violent attack on a church service in the Bakinpah-Maro community, located in the Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The assault, which occurred around 10:00 a.m., resulted in the death of three people and 30 others reportedly kidnapped.

The attackers targeted both an ECWA church and a Catholic church.

The former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the attack, although police authorities have yet to release an official statement.

Among those abducted is Bernard Gajera, a pastor from one of the churches.

This incident follows recent efforts by the Maro community to enhance local security.
