The Nigerian army announced today, Sunday, the liberation of 31 people who were kidnapped while attending the Easter mass in Kaduna State, northwest of the country, while at least five people were killed during the attack.
The operation took place in a village about 100 kilometers from Abuja, despite the intensive security deployment around places of worship during the occasion. The army explained, in a statement, that it had thwarted a terrorist attack, after clashes with militants forced them to flee and leave the hostages, while local reports confirmed that the attack targeted more than one church, leaving deaths and kidnappings.
