Two of the 66 worshippers were abducted on Sunday, 31 October at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nigeria by their detainers. Fr. Joseph Hayab, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said that gunmen opened fire on five of the kidnapped individuals, killing two and injuring three.
“The lives of Kaduna abducted worshipers are in danger and require the urgent intervention of government and security agencies,” he said. The insecurity of Kaduna State has continued to grow beyond the imagination and also it is threatening the peace of the nation.
