Africa-Press – Nigeria. A survivor of the November 18 attack on Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Eruku, Kwara State, has described the conditions he and other abducted worshippers faced while held by their captors.
He was among the 38 victims rescued by security operatives, a development President Bola Tinubu confirmed on Sunday.
The victim, while speaking in an interview with TVC, said the attackers stormed the church shortly after the evening service began, firing shots around the premises before herding the worshippers into the bush.
“It was a sudden act, a terrifying act. Because that evening, after 30 minutes of the programme, we just heard gunshots.
“Even from my own perspective, I didn’t know it was gunshots. I thought it was just the sparking of some wire.
“By the time we got up, they surrounded the whole church. Even some people there began to narrate that they were seeing drops of blood everywhere,” he said.
According to him, the captives were taken deep into a forested area controlled by the group. According to him, the abductors openly identified themselves as bandits and boasted about their dominance in the region, claiming that “no one can slip away” from their territory.
