09/22/2021 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) –According to the Nigerian Tribune, gunmen invaded a church Kabba, Kogi State on Sunday, killing one person, injuring three and abducting two.

Last month, gunmen also attacked a church in Osara, Kogi state, and abducted three people, reported the news source. They were released five days later.

“As the State CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) Chairman, I strongly condemn the attack on Churches, Winners Chapel at Osara and now ECWA Church at Okedayo, Kabba,” Dr John Ibenu said in response to the attacks. “This is a desecration of places of worship. We condemn it in its totality.”

He added: “Our prayers and condolences go to all the bereaved.”
