Eight members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Region 30, Trinity Sanctuary, Kaduna, were on Friday abducted by gunmen in Kaduna state.

It was gathered that the abducted members were were on the church bus travelling for a programme when they were attacked.

This comes barely 17 days after the 39 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna State, were abducted by armed bandits.

Abduction of the church members was made known when a Facebook user, Eje Faraday, around 7pm broke the news on his page with a picture of the white vehicle.

“All the passengers in this bus were just kidnapped along Kachia Road, 63 km from Kaduna,” he wrote.

A source and an official of the church, who chose to remain anonymous, confirmed the report to Punch Newspaper. He said, “They were eight in number on the bus. They were going to Kachia in preparation for the church’s Let’s Go a Fishing Easter programme. The gunmen took them out of the bus and put them in their own operational vehicle. They have yet to contact the church.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Jalige, when contacted said he was still making enquiries and would respond when he gets information on the incident.
