BEVERLY HILLS, April 25, (THEWILL) – Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Sunday attacked Haske Baptist Church at Mannai Tasha Village in Kuriga ward of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
One worshipper, a medical doctor with the state ministry of Health, was shot by the gunmen.
Though there was no official statement as of the time of filing this report, an eyewitness, Yakubu Bala, said the bandits invaded the church about 9.00 am.
He said scores of worshippers were abducted by the bandits, while many were injured during the attack.
Bala said, “A Medical Doctor with the Kaduna State Ministry of Health was shot and many people were kidnapped while so many worshipers sustained varying degrees of injuries.
“As am talking to you now, we have not seen some of our villagers who ran into the bushes while the shootings were going on.”
This is coming on the heels of bandits’ abduction of students and the killing of three of the students and a staff of the Greenfield University in the same local government.
