‘Terrorists Control All The Bush Routes’: Freed Kwara Church Worshipper Details Bandits’ Grip On Kwara, Neighbouring States

One of the church members abducted during last week’s attack in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area, has revealed that the terrorists who kidnapped them operate from a fully dominated enclave and possess detailed knowledge of bush routes across several states.

Speaking with journalists on Sunday shortly after regaining freedom, the victim recounted the terrifying moment heavily armed men stormed the church during an evening programme.

About 30 minutes into the programme, after everybody had settled, I suddenly heard gunshots,” the victim said.

“At first, I didn’t even recognise it. I thought it was just the sound of an electrical wire sparking. But within moments, they had surrounded the whole church.”

He added that worshippers were thrown into confusion as some people began to notice drops of blood on the floor during the chaos of the invasion.

The abducted members were taken deep into the forest, where the victim said they discovered that the attackers were operating in territory they had fully taken over.

“When we got there, we didn’t know it was a dominated area,” he said. “It was unimaginable. They boldly told us they are bandits and that nobody escapes from that place without being caught.”

According to him, the kidnappers openly bragged about their control and mastery of the terrain.

“From that place they have dominated, they know all the roads surrounding those bushes in Kwara and other states,” he said, stressing that the gang’s mobility and familiarity with forest routes make them even more dangerous.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had announced the release of 38 persons who were recently abducted in an attack on the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area.

The freed abductees regained their freedom on Sunday, November 23, following several days of coordinated efforts by security forces and government representatives.

Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, disclosed the information in a statement issued on Sunday.

According to the statement, Governor AbdulRazaq attributed the successful rescue to the “hands-on approach” of President Bola Tinubu, who directed measures to secure the release.

“The President had called off his scheduled trip for the G20 Meeting in South Africa to attend to the breaches in Kwara and Kebbi States,” the statement said.

“He had also directed heightened security deployments to Kwara, in what underlined his firm commitment to the safety and well-being of our people and Nigerians as a whole.”

“The abductees were freed today, November 23,” the statement said.

The governor expressed his gratitude to the President, saying the release “is wholly due to his direct initiative.”

He also extended appreciation to the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, and the Nigeria Police, which deployed four new tactical teams to the state under the President’s directive.

This is what ohamadike mazi Nnamdi kanu told the world before they illegally arrested him and jailed him. While the foolish Nigerians celebrates his jail sentence, these demons will invade their space and rain terror on them.

In summary terrorists are protecting our sovereignty.

That's Tinubu gains, ask Ribadu with his babablu.

Tinubu will chicken out more on hearing this .

All Tinubu’s online supporters seem focused on celebrating Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction and trolling Peter Obi. You’ll hardly ever see them hold their own principal accountable for the serious failures happening under his administration.

This constant deflection is part of why the country keeps sinking. Instead of facing reality, they turn every national issue into a tribal or political battle.

Nigeria deserves better.

The jihadists bandits who are offshoot of bokoharam, which is an offshoot of sharia in the north are gathering war weapons from ransom payment,
soon they will converge and face the country in a real war. This country is in trouble, especially with the type of leaders we have in this muslim muslim government.

Southern Nigeria governors, must stop being slaves of northern politicians, outlaw miyetti group, ban open grazing, and stipulate 10 years imprisonment for the herders and fines and imprisonment for anyone employing herders to graze openly.

This is an existential threat, this group, this tribe have killed thousands, we must stop acting like dead people. Stop giving outsiders lands for settlement, and don't allow them have titles in your land.

Northerners are all complicit in all this madness, why is it this madness only happening in the north?

At the mercy of bandits but Nnamdi Kanu agitation for biafra is who they can flex on. Has he done a quarter of what these mindless bandits have done? Where is the negotiation or justice?

The real problem about the consume half of the country they are petting.

And some Nigerians are still supporting this evil Apc that is full of lies and misinformation with propaganda and lies…the Apc and Tinubu should simply be honest that they are paying ransom to these bandits and they can’t stop them so they can be taught how to do what they are novice about…all they know is obsolete politics of corruption and manipulation

That's why Gumi brags about his boys owning the whole forest 🤷🏿. Tinubu dare not challenge them🤷🏿. Slave can't dare Master 📌💯

Is only South South and southeast that these beasts haven't gain ground.

How much ransom was paid?? This is a thriving business venture, fund needed to buy more sophisticated weapons

Kwara illorin 🔜 Ogun state Abeokuta🔜 Osun Oshogbo🔜 Oyo Ibadan 🔜Lagos Ikeja 😆

That's how to tell who really was stronger in the Nigerian civil war. Cracking the weak link😅
By the time them deal with una eh. You go speak Igbo

Them dey follow west not east 😅 Them for follow east hear matters

Operation protect south south and south east. West just go form una own country. Oh I forgot. Them go soon over run am 😆. If you won the civil war, go and fight aboki.

This is the time for the state and federal governments to clear all bushes in the whole of federation so that there won't be hiding place for criminals in this country to commit evil.

Something is missing here and the question is "who are they? Are the truly Fulani or Ebira millitia and we were made to believed"?

Pls drive home the point.

Reaper and predator drones will do a good job. Just hunt for 36hrs, heat signature will see every living things.

The more we look the less we see.

FG paid the ransome to free the captives which empower the bandits/terrorists to do more business with FG in future. " is Nice doing business with you"

Terrorists have surrounded Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, but Yorubas are mostly concerned about Nnamdi Kanu and Igbo people. Em go clear for una eyes soon.

One day this bandits will capture Tinubu ( A.K.A, Area Scatter) inside Aso rock.

Like play like play, since everything is all about winning election in 2027.


Nawaoo!

🙆🙆🙆

No gun engagement with the bandits,just released like that. Tell us how much una pay

State policing is the only way to go now.

Everything shouldn't be about politics....

Let the locals guard their terain with state police managed by the state government...

Enough is enough

Everyone knows that. Nigeria military can destroy their camps

That's the type of government Amuda Yekini aka Tinugbum is operating.

If terrorists reside within the country and even build camps comfortably, the government is definitely involved

Make it make sense, the government has everything in their disposal to fish out these terrorists. They have the air, land, sea… they have communication, and unlimited access to use the highest grade of military weapons…

Nnamdi kanu should be sentenced again so all this things will come to an end
