Bandits Abduct Worshippers at Church in Kogi State

Armed men kidnapped at least 13 people from the Evangelical Church Winning All in Kogi state, Nigeria, during a Sunday service, marking the second such attack in two weeks. Five of the attackers were killed, but others escaped, with officials labeling them as “bandits” responsible for ransom kidnappings. Security forces are facing challenges in addressing the rising violence, particularly in rural areas where response times are slow. Recent government efforts to enhance security have yet to effectively curb these incidents.
