Gunmen stormed Elyon Paradise Ministry in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State, during a vigil on Friday, shooting the pastor and abducting six church in a brutal attack that has left the community in shock.

The attack, which occurred around 10 p.m. at the church near Delta State Polytechnic, left Apostle Divine Omodia hospitalised with gunshot wounds.

The attack has heightened concerns over security in religious centres, with residents calling on authorities to take swift actions to rescue the abducted victims and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Divine’s wife, Pastor Faith Omodia, recounted the terrifying ordeal, stating that the attackers fired indiscriminately into the church auditorium.

“I was lying down with my baby in the church hall when I heard gunshots. Suddenly, bullets started flying inside the auditorium,” she said.

She revealed that her husband was shot in the lap and lost two fingers in the attack.

The gunmen then rounded up the worshippers, forcing them outside before abducting six of them, including two security guards.

The victims were identified as Helen Onwuamaeze, Ariyo Emmanuel, Chike Okolo, and Blessing Waye, along with the unnamed guards.

Meanwhile, the Delta State Police Command has yet to confirm the incident.

When ed, the Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, said, “No report has been made at any police station regarding this attack.”

Ipops Terrorist why

Abducting only six among the worshipers after raining bullets?

This story is...

IPOB terrorists doing what they know how to do best

What all due respect I think churches should have security outfits with guns.

Tinubu sef

The house of God is now under constant attack by Islamic Terrorist who have sworn to inflict sorrow upon the children of God....

This is a Jihad & the children of God needs to awaken their consciousness to defend their faith just as Isreal is doing against the infidel Hamas

Kidnapping is on astronomical increase in Nigeria but highly underreported

Ogwashi uku is the new home of kidnappers in delta state
Mostly ogwashi azagba and what baffles me is that the proximity of that place to asaba and under the commissioner of police nose.🥺

Church should have their own security. Protect yourself at all cost. The government doesn't care. They will only come to your aide when the deed has been done already

Wetin reach so?
Una never tell us d real story.

These are the Igbos from the east. I've been complaining but the stupid governor of Delta is just too complacent.

Before you talk thrash, I have videos from CCTV footage from my friend's house. You could see the Igbos and listen to their dialects.


Is sheriff waiting for Ogwashi Ukwu and Asaba to burn down to the ground?

Asaba that has been relatively safe is now something else, but e no even reach Ogwashi. We have been catching some of them from the east:

XerXers:

Childish

This is my troll , or I'd have provided personal evidence. While I understand your necessity to defend your tribe, it doesn't take away reality.

The fact that a few Igbos and Fulanis are ravaging Delta—kidnapping and maiming—does not mean all Igbos or Fulanis are like that.

So you people also feel it 🤣.

The Tinubu government has failed completely in securing lives and properties of Nigerians....you wonder what they do with all the security votes.

So they should've taken them all?

See, even kidnappers have sense and they plan, too.

They know how many people they can manage to hold without drawing suspicion.

They also select based on appearance; clothes, accessories, phones, etc.

There's a reason some people dress poorly when travelling.peoole have been doing so for decades, especially traders.

They are your brothers and sisters.

Lol

Random robbery attack or a coordinated one..?

There's no peace in naija.......

The level of insecurity in this country is very worrisome😔

So why was the silly church holding service by 10PM when they can’t vouch for the security of the place?? Is it a nightclub or a church?

Meanwhile one of the victims names is Onwuamaeze. Names dey sha! Chai!

That's the area Ned Nwoko is representing in the Senate. He is only concerned about his wives

Soludo don drive them from his state ,so Delta will be their save home now. Delta State police show sit up,and the governor too..

All these happening and the God they are worshipping just fold his arms doing nothing

So much for worshiping a diety

Hmm on Sunday for that matter 😭
