Gunmen have abducted more than 150 worshippers in simultaneous attacks on three churches in northwest Nigeria. The attack occurred on Sunday in Kurmin Wali, Kaduna state, during services at the Evangelical Church Winning All, a Cherubim and Seraphim church, and a Catholic church. A state lawmaker reported that 168 people remain missing. Police in Kaduna state have not commented, and no group has claimed responsibility. Such attacks are common in Nigeria, where multiple gangs and religious armed groups target remote communities. The Nigerian government has rejected claims of a “Christian genocide” amid escalating security crises.
