The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) confirmed the attack, saying 177 were initially abducted.

PT WHATSAPP CHANNEL

Enoch Kaura, CAN’s chairperson in Kajuru LGA, said of the 177 abducted, about 10 people escaped. He called on the security forces to ensure the remaining hostages are rescued.

Police and the state government disputed the attack, asking CAN to provide evidence that people were abducted. Later, the police changed their position, admitting that the attack “did occur” and that people were abducted

Police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, in a Tuesday night statement, said the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has deployed operatives with the order that the abducted persons be “safely” rescued.

Below is the list of the abducted worshippers as released by CKACC.
