About 31 persons including a pastor were also kidnapped when the assailants launched the attack targeting ECWA and Catholic churches in the community.

The incident occurred on Sunday during church service.

According to LEADERSHIP, a former chairman of Kajuru LGA, Cafra Caino confirmed the unfortunate incident.

Caino said the bandits who arrived around 10 am in large numbers, shot sporadically targeting the two churches in the community.

He disclosed that a pastor of one of the churches Bernard Gajera, was among those kidnapped by the criminal elements.

Efforts to reach the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Munir Hassan, were unsuccessful.
