OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA OTN News reports reports that bandits have attacked a church camp in Nyanya, a town in Nasarawa, killing three worshippers, and abducting others.

OTN News further reports that the Nasarawa police spokesperson, Ramhan Nansel, who confirmed the incident to news men on Sunday, said that the bandits attacked the camp of the Divine Majesty Worship Ministry in the town last Monday.

Nansel explained that the church housed financially constrained worshippers in a hostel on the same premises.

He noted that the bandits broke into the hostel at a time when the worshippers were holding a prayer vigil at night, killing three persons and abducting many others for an N100 million ransom.

The police spokesperson, however, said that the abducted persons were rescued within 48 hours and were reunited with their families.
