Terrorists have killed 3 persons, abducted a Pastor and many others on Sunday when they attacked a church in the Bakinpah-Maro community of Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State.

The police have yet to comment, but the former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino, confirmed the incident, saying 30 persons were taken away by the terrorists.

“The terrorists, who arrived around 10:00am in large numbers, targeted the ECWA and Catholic church. Among those abducted is Bernard Gajera, a pastor from one of the churches.”

Recently, the community raised funds to build a security post for law enforcement agents as part of efforts to attract more security personnel in the area.

The community was repeatedly attacked by the terrorists, forcing farmers to abandoned their farms.
