VIDEO: Bandits kill 3, kidnap worshippers during church service in Kwara

A video has shown the moment bandits attacked a branch of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Oke Isegun in the Eruku community, a boundary town with Kogi in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.

It was gathered that the bandits attacked the church during a service in the community, killing no fewer than three worshippers and abducting a yet-to-be-ascertained number of persons.

The congregation, led by a young pastor, scampered for safety as the gunshots intensified, after which some gunmen were seen entering the church.
