Gunmen abduct 2 worshippers in Ogun

Two worshippers have been reportedly abducted following an attack on Celestial Church of Christ, SBJ Oshofa at Wasimi in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

It was gathered that the worshippers, identified as Oluwaseun Ajose and Dagunro Ayobami, were abducted after the gunmen attacked the church at about 11 pm on Monday.

A source disclosed that the church is located at an isolated area, which allowed the assailants to invade the church unhindered.

The incident was confirmed by the Shepherd of the church, Oluwatomisin Ehuwaojomo, noting that the abductors have reached out to the church and demanded N50 million ransom.

No fewer than 40 worshippers were killed in the terror attack, while several others injured are currently receiving treatment in different hospitals in the town.
