Ekiti Attack: Monarchs Consider Ban On Evening Church Services After Gunmen Strike

Following the deadly attack on a church in Eda Oniyo, Ekiti State, concerns over security have continued to rise.

Reports indicate that traditional leaders in the area are considering stricter measures, including possible restrictions on evening church services, as part of efforts to protect residents.

This comes after gunmen invaded a church during a programme, killing a pastor and abducting several worshippers.

Security agencies have since launched a manhunt for the attackers, while advising religious organisations to inform authorities before holding late-night gatherings.

Residents remain on edge as discussions continue on how to prevent further attacks.
