Bandits Abduct 37 Worshippers and Kill Seminary Graduate in Kogi State Attack

In a tragic incident, armed bandits attacked worshippers at two churches in Aiyetoro Kiri, Kogi State, abducting 37 people and killing a seminary graduate, Jimoh Adeyemi. The assailants took advantage of the peaceful Sunday service, leaving the worshippers helpless.

This marks the third major security breach in the community in 2025. The lack of sustained government-backed security presence has made the area increasingly vulnerable to such attacks, with residents living in fear of further violence.
