A video showing the moment terrorists attacked a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku town in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, where they killed three worshippers and abducted several others, including the pastor, has surfaced online.
The attackers invaded the church during a meeting on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 and immediately opened fire, sending worshippers scampering for safety.
Three members were shot dead on the spot before the assailants seized an unspecified number of people.
“The gunmen came in suddenly and started shooting. Three people were killed instantly. They gathered others at gunpoint and marched them into the bush. We still don’t know the exact number taken,” one source said.
The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths that connect Eruku to neighbouring communities in Kwara.
The incident occurred shortly after heavily armed terrorists launched a coordinated attack on the town, forcing travellers and residents to flee into surrounding bushes for safety.
