No less than three Christian worshipers were Sunday killed following an unprovoked attack by dare-devil bandits in Bakinpah-Maro, a community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
About 31 persons including a pastor were also kidnapped when the assailants launched the attack targeting ECWA and Catholic churches in the community.
The incident occurred on Sunday during church service.
A former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino confirmed the unfortunate incident, saying that the bandits who arrived around 10:00 am in large numbers, shot sporadically targeting the two churches in the community.
He disclosed that a pastor of one of the churches, Bernard Gajera, was among those kidnapped by the criminal elements.
Efforts to reach the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Munir Hassan, were unsuccessful.
