In Nasarawa, gunmen kidnap an RCCG preacher.

 


Gunmen kidnapped Faturoti Olaniyi, a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, or RCCG, in Karu, Nasarawa State.


Olaniyi was abducted by the gunmen when they broke into his house at the Redeemed Christian Church of God property close to Bristol Academy, Federal Housing Authority (FHA) in Karu early on July 24, 2025.


The perpetrators entered the building at around 1:30 in the morning, fired multiple bullets, and then took the victim away to an undisclosed place, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama.



Their source claims that there was panic in the region as the gunmen operated for several minutes without running into any immediate opposition, forcing locals to flee for their lives.

In reaction to the incident, police, local vigilantes, hunters, and other security officers formed joint teams and launched a manhunt. They looked for the kidnappers in the nearby hills and bushes and blocked probable escape routes.



As of the filing of this article, search and rescue operations are still in progress, and the victim remains in captivity.
