Three people have been feared dead, and 30 others have been kidnapped following a bandits' attack on churches in Bakinpah-Maro, Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Sunday.
The former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the incident, stating that the assailants arrived in large numbers around 10am.
They reportedly targeted both an ECWA church and a Catholic church.
“The security forces went on to rescue the 13 hostages, comprising six men and seven women, from the hideout.
“The troops dislodged the camp, and destroyed various items like such as clothing and personal effects, at the site.
“The rescued victims were conveyed to a military facility for examination and debriefing, before being reunited with their families," he had said.
