Barely one week after gunmen attacked a Federal correctional centre in Kabba where a soldier and a policeman were killed, while over two hundred inmates were set free, another gunmen on Sunday morning  attacked ECWA Church in Kabba killing one person and abducted two worshippers.

The attack is coming barely seven days after the prison attack in the Federal minimum correctional centre and the abduction of three poultry farmers on their farm; all in the same area

The ECWA Church is located at Okedayo along Kabba – Okene road in Kogi State.

The attackers according to source stormed the Church in the morning when Church service

has commenced and started shooting sporadically where a  member of the church was killed by a stray  bullet while  two others were said to be abducted by the gunmen.

The Police Public Relation Officer of Kogi State Police command DSP William Ayah in a conversation with our correspondent confirmed the incident, he said the gunmen attacked the Church this morning during the service shooting sporadically to scare people.

Ayah added that a member of the church, Mr Reuben Gbenga was killed, Elder Oshadumo Julius, and Elder Abiodun T.O were abducted while two are presently receiving treatment in the hospital.

He assured that the command will not relent in its effort to ensure that the perpetrators were apprehended and the abductees are rescue.

Aya therefore appealed to the general public to furnished the police with useful information that will lead to the arrest of the gunmen.
