Twenty-four parishioners who were abducted from an ECWA Church branch in Kogi State have been freed.
In a development bringing relief to families and communities, 24 worshippers abducted last month from a branch of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) at Àyetoro-Kiri in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State have regained their freedom.
The incident occurred at the church located in the rural area of Àyetoro-Kiri, highlighting ongoing security challenges in parts of Nigeria's North-Central region. Details on how the victims were released remain limited, but their return marks a positive outcome following the distressing event.
This release underscores the persistent issue of kidnappings targeting religious gatherings in the area, though no further specifics on ransom or negotiations were provided in reports.
