VIDEO:Livestream from CAC Church in Eruku Town in Kwara State Captures Final Moments Before Gun-Wielding Terrorists Struck During a Church Service

 

On Monday evening, worshippers at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, a quiet community in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, gathered for their church programme — a normal midweek-opening service that many families attend to begin their week spiritually.

But peace was shattered when gun-wielding terrorists stormed the area, leading to a tragedy that has sent shockwaves across Kwara State and Nigeria.

Almost immediately after the attack, claims began circulating online that a livestream from inside the church captured the moments before the gunmen struck.


According to the Kwara State Police Command, an armed group attacked the community on Monday night, leaving multiple casualties.

Police reports confirm:

Two people were killed

A vigilante member was seriously injured

Attackers fled after security teams responded

However, local eyewitnesses and resident-based media claim that:

Three worshippers may have been killed,

and several people, including the pastor, may have been abducted

This mismatch between official and community reports shows how chaotic the attack was and how information is still unfolding.

Kwara has long been viewed as a relatively stable state, but attacks like this show how insecurity is expanding into communities that previously felt safe.

Eruku, being near borders with Ekiti, Kogi, and Oke Ero, has become vulnerable to armed groups moving across forest paths at night.

Residents say:

  • They feel abandoned by government security structures

  • Vigilantes are overstretched and poorly equipped

  • Night attacks have become more frequent

  • The Monday incident has shaken trust in rural safety

  • Attacking a church at night is seen as a direct assault on spiritual sanctity

The Monday night attack on CAC Church, Eruku is a tragic reminder that insecurity is rising even in states once considered safe.

Ikoments will continue monitoring developments, especially regarding the alleged livestream and any new police revelations.

What Kwara people want now is simple: protection, justice, and a government that shows up before tragedy — not after.

Budget Shortfalls and Slow Capital Releases Official scrutiny of Nigeria’s fiscal performance shows that the federal government acknowledged a significant revenue shortfall in 2025, leaving actual receipts far below proj...
