The Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Kwara State, has released the full list of 38 worshippers abducted during a deadly bandit attack earlier this week.
This development comes as the terrorists behind the raid have demanded an initial sum of N100 million for each captive, making the total sum of N3.8 billion.
The abductees include 30 women and eight minors. Among the 38 names released are: Felicia Ige (64); Timileyin Joshua (22); Elizabeth Rotimi (27); Samuel Ayodele (34); Olutokun Yetunde (23); Olutokun Janet (36); Olutokun Juwon (10), Olutokun Jumbu (12); Ebenezer Aina (24); Titilayo Balogun (59); Opeyemi Asaba (24); Grace Balogun (62), and Ayodele Taye (42).
Oloke Funmilayo (42); Joseph Olaitan (24); Eniola Princess (23); Comfort Atolani (44); Joanah Atolani (7); Imole Aina (9); Moses Ojasope (12); Iyabo Ajayi (40); Adeojo Ojasope (19); Ojo Ajayi (10); Funmilayo Joshua (64); Iyabo Michael (32); Bimpe Ige (20); Grace Iyabo Ige (41); Deborah Peter (38).
Omolola Mustapha (40); Idowu Mustapha (17); Emmanuel Bamidele (22); Ade Ajayi (7),l; Foluso Caleb (42); Funmilayo Ayodele (37); Folorunso Bamidele (42); Akinola Toluwani (24), and Akinola Babalola (14).
The N3.8 billion demand, was reportedly made by the bandits shortly after the abduction, thereby placing financial pressure on the families and the local church.
The Federal Government has controversially attributed this wave of attacks to the comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently designated Nigeria a “Country of Concern” over what he called “genocide against Christians” and threatened U.S. military intervention.
