Bandits struck again in Kaduna on Friday, kidnapping at least eight members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region 30, Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna.
They were abducted along Kachia Road, about 63 kilometres from Kaduna.
A passenger in another bus travelling about the same time broke the news on his Facebook wall.
The Facebook user, Eje Faraday, uploaded the picture of the RCCG branded bus around 7pm with the following words:
“All the passengers in this bus were just kidnapped along Kachia Road, 63 km from Kaduna.”
In answer to questions posed on the page, he disclosed that he was almost a victim of the attack as the bus he was travelling in narrowly missed running into the bandits.
Sources have since confirmed that the RCCG members were eight and were going to Kachia in preparation for the church’s Let’s Go a Fishing Easter programme.
The gunmen took them out of the bus and put them in their own operational vehicle. They have yet to contact the church.”
It would be recalled that kidnappers abducted five RCCG members in 2019 around Ijebu Ode while going to the annual convention of the church at Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State.
The General Overseer of the Church, Pastor EA Adeboye raised a prayer point for the safe release of the members during one of the services at the convention at the time.
The members were later released unhurt.
