Community releases names of Kaduna abducted worshipers

The names of the worshippers abducted from three churches in Kurmin Wali, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have been released.

The list was attached to a statement issued by the Chikun/Kajuru Active Citizens Congress (CKACC) on Tuesday.

The group in the statement shared with our reporter described the attack as a “heinous and unacceptable” act.

This newspaper reported that terrorists invaded the community on 18 January, kidnapping 167 people.

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

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.
