N
igerians have expressed outrage over the lack of information on the kidnappers responsible for abducting 38 worshippers at the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State, even after their release. President Bola Tinubu and Kwara Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq confirmed the rescue but gave no details about arrests or actions against the perpetrators.
Social media users questioned whether ransom was paid and criticized the government’s vague statements, stressing that the safety of citizens depends on apprehending criminals, not just freeing victims. The abduction, which occurred on November 18 during an evening service, resulted in several deaths, including the pastor, and left communities demanding justice.
