Bandits spilling violence invaded a Sunday morning church service in Chukun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing one worshiper, abducting unconfirmed number while others sustained injuries.
The invasion of church service is a new dimension to the growing insecurity in the State.
But generally, Chukun has been under siege by bands of bandits who seem to be operating freely. And efforts made so far to secure the residents of Kaduna State have not yielded the desired result.
The spate of violence in Kaduna and across the States in the country have been unprecedented in the last one week, with six killed in Ekiti on April 20; 40 kidnapped at Greenfield University, Kaduna on April 21; 18 kidnapped in Oyo on April 22; 45 killed in Zamfara on April 22, 83 killed in Zamfara on April 23.
And on Friday April 23, corpses of three students of Greenfield University, a private institution in Chukun LGA, were found, three days after their abduction.
Gunmen had had on Tuesday abducted many students after killing the security guard at the university gate.
