BREAKING: Families Of 15 Abducted Kwara Worshippers Fear Loved Ones May Be Dead After Weeks Of Silence From Kidnappers 04.06.2026

Sahara Reporters

Families of 15 Christian worshippers abducted in late May from a night vigil at Ori-Oke Ajaiye in Kwara State are deeply concerned about their loved ones' safety due to weeks of silence from the kidnappers. The attack, which occurred in Ikiran Village, Ekiti Local Government Area, also resulted in the deaths of three worshippers, as previously confirmed by the Kwara State Police Command. Relatives allege that both federal and state governments have abandoned rescue efforts, citing a lack of communication and progress. This prolonged silence amplifies fears that the abducted individuals may no longer be alive, drawing parallels to other recent incidents in Kwara where abducted worshippers died in captivity. Despite police assurances of ongoing vigorous rescue operations, families report receiving no concrete updates, increasing anxiety within the community amidst rising insecurity in the state's rural areas.
