Insecurity in Kogi: Three Abducted ECWA Worshippers Die After Release

In Kogi State, three ECWA worshippers, part of a group of 38 abducted in December 2025, died after their release by bandits demanding ransom. The Kogi State Government reaffirmed its commitment to tackling criminal elements, while protests erupted over rising insecurity.

Additionally, the Nigerian Army's 12th Brigade in Lokoja killed three bandits and arrested a logistics supplier during a separate operation. The situation underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures in the region.
