The terrorists who stormed a mid-week prayer service at the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku on Tuesday night have demanded a staggering ₦3 billion ransom for the release of more than 30 worshippers they abducted.
The rampaging terrorists k!lled three people during the attack and herded away with between 30 and 38 others – including women and children into surrounding forests.
On Thursday, the terrorists contacted families, demanding ₦100 million for each captive.
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who visited Eruku on Friday, described the incident as “barbaric” and ordered intensified rescue operations. Police have confirmed the abduction but no victims has been freed.
Heartbroken families say they cannot raise even a fraction of the ransom.
