At least one person has
been killed and many others injured after gunmen attacked the ECWA Church at
Gabaciwa village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday
morning.
According to a report by security agencies, the gunmen invaded the church
during the Sunday morning service and immediately attacked the worshipers,
which led to the death of one person, while some others were seriously injured.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai has condemned the attack, describing it as an
evil act targeting innocent citizens exercising their constitutional and
universal rights to religious freedom.
He added that the attack on the worshippers was a divisive intent of the
criminals leveraging religious sensitivity.
While he condoled with the ECWA Church and the family of the deceased in
particular, he prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
The governor also directed the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency to
assess the area and provide succor to the victims receiving medical attention.
