Gunmen attacked a church in Kwara State, killing two people — one found inside the church and another nearby, police spokesperson Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi said — and abducting worshippers, 38 of whom have since been freed, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said. President Bola Tinubu credited security agencies for securing the releases; AbdulRazaq praised Tinubu’s deployment of 900 additional troops, and Tinubu delayed his departure to the G20 summit in South Africa amid the attack and related schoolgirl abductions.
