Kaduna Community Rejects Army’s Claim of Rescuing Church Abductees

Bandits attacked an ECWA church in Arikon, Kachia LGA, killing five worshippers and taking dozens hostage during Easter service. The Nigerian Army said its troops forced kidnappers to abandon 31 captives, but the Kuturmi Unity Development Association describes this as false. The group’s leaders state all victims remain in captivity and families are in contact with the abductors. The community urges the army and other authorities to release only verified information to avoid confusion and false hope. They call for coordinated efforts to secure the safe and immediate release of the hostages.
