Three members of the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, Kabba have been abducted from the church by rampaging gunmen on Sunday morning. One other member was killed in the attack.

The incident took place along the Kabba-Okene Express Way in Okedayo Kabba and left the community in panic and confusion.

It was reliably gathered that the gunmen fully armed with AK 47 numbering five invaded the church at about 8 am on Sunday morning shooting sporadically as they made their way into the church premises.

A source said some worshipers took cover while others in an attempt to escape were kidnapped.

The dead worshiper was on his way to the church when he encountered the gunmen who immediately opened fire on him.

“The gunshots left members confused, scamper for safety, with the gunmen killing one and taking away three.

The man that was killed was identified as the Deputy Chief Security Officer of a higher institution in the area.

Efforts to reach out to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP William Ayah proved difficult as he was said to be in church.
