The 38 members of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Oke-Isegun, Eruku, who were rescued from bandits on Sunday, have arrived at the Kwara Government House, where they received medical attention.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq received the victims, expressing appreciation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s support in securing their release. The victims, looking exhausted, arrived in a bus escorted by Department of State Services (DSS) operatives.
One of the rescued congregants, Bamidele Emmanuel, recounted the ordeal, describing the attack as traumatic. Gunshots rang out during the church’s thanksgiving service, and three people were killed, with some injured.
Governor AbdulRazaq stressed that the state won’t fully celebrate until the schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi State are safely rescued. The victims will spend the night at the Government House, with arrangements made to reunite them with their families once medically cleared
