The Executive Council and entire members of ECWA Fate-Tanke District Church Council in Ilorin have reacted to the abduction of members of the church in Kwara State.
DAILY POST reports that eight worshippers were abducted in an ECWA church in Kwara on Sunday. Three of the abductees were however rescued by joint security forces.
“We received with great sorrow the disturbing report that bandits disrupted the worship service and abducted eight members, including the wife of the Minister in charge of the church, Mrs. Omole.
“This painful development is yet another troubling occurrence in recent times, particularly affecting ECWA churches and communities across Kwara South Senatorial District,” the executive council said in a statement.
The council called on the relevant security agencies to intensify proactive measures to safeguard lives and property, rather than responding only after such tragic incidents have taken place.
“The District Executive commits these our beloved brethren into God’s hands, praying earnestly for their safety and speedy release.
“We trust the Lord to comfort the affected families and strengthen His Church in this trying time.
“May the peace of God be with them amen,” the council added.
