Bandits killed three worshippers and kidnapped 15 others during a vigil at a church prayer ground on the outskirts of Ikiran village in Ekiti LGA, Kwara State.
The attack happened around 8:30pm on Saturday at Ori-Oke Ajaiye, a remote worship centre where members of Ijo Ajaiye Ati Igbala were holding prayers.
Kwara State Police Command confirmed the incident on Sunday.
Spokesperson SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi said Pastor Adebayo Abiodun reported that gunmen stormed the vigil, opened fire on the congregation, and dragged several people away to an unknown location.
Police from Ekiti Division were deployed immediately after the distress call.
State Commissioner of Police Ojo Adekimi has ordered a coordinated rescue operation involving tactical teams, intelligence units, the Police Mobile Force, and the police drone unit.
Calling the attack “barbaric and unacceptable,” Adekimi assured residents that security agencies are working to rescue the victims and arrest the attackers.
“The command is fully committed to ensuring the safe rescue of all abducted persons and bringing the perpetrators to justice,” he said.
Officers have started bush-combing operations and intelligence gathering across nearby communities to track the bandits. Residents have been urged to stay calm and share credible information to aid the investigation and rescue effort.
