A human rights organisation, Christian Solidarity Worldwide–Nigeria (CSW-N), has insisted that more than 100 worshippers were abducted by suspected bandits during coordinated attacks on churches in Kurmin Wali community, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, despite official denials by security agencies and local authorities.

CSW-N said the alleged abductions occurred on Sunday when heavily armed assailants attacked three churches in Kurmin Wali during worship services, forcibly taking over 100 congregants into the bush.

However, the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Rabiu, and the Chairman of Kajuru Local Government Area, Dauda Madaki, dismissed the reports, describing them as falsehoods being peddled by what they termed “conflict entrepreneurs.”
