BREAKING: Nigeria Bleeds Again as Terrorists Storm Church Vigil, Slaughter Worshippers and Kidnap 15 in Midnight Kwara Carnage

Fresh horror has gripped Nigeria after suspected terrorists launched a deadly midnight assault on a church vigil in Kwara State, killing

worshippers and abducting 15 others in an attack that has shocked communities across the country.

The gunmen reportedly stormed the prayer gathering at Ori-Oke Ajaiye near Ikiran village in Ekiti Local Government Area during an

overnight vigil, opening fire on terrified worshippers before whisking several victims away into nearby forests.

At least three people were confirmed dead as panic and confusion spread across the community, with residents fleeing

for safety while families searched desperately for missing relatives through the night.

Pastor Adebayo Abiodun, who reported the incident to security authorities, said the attackers

invaded the church unexpectedly during prayers and unleashed terror on the congregation.

Police authorities in Kwara confirmed the attack and announced the deployment of tactical teams, intelligence

operatives and local security groups to rescue the abducted victims and track down the perpetrators behind the massacre.

The latest bloodshed has once again raised alarm over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, especially repeated attacks targeting

vulnerable rural communities and religious gatherings.
