The police in Ekiti State said the worshippers abducted during the attack on a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) crusade in Eda Oniyo-Ekiti, Ilejemeje Local Government Area of the state, have been rescued.
The spokesperson of the command, Sunday Abutu, a superintendent of police, said in a statement that the victims were rescued on Friday.
The victims, who are mostly residents of Eda Oniyo-Ekiti, were abducted on Tuesday, April 28, when gunmen invaded an open-air crusade organised by the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC).
During the attack, the officiating pastor was killed, while 15 worshippers were abducted and taken to an unknown destination.
The worshippers who were taken into the forest are mostly women, with two young boys and children between the ages of two and four years.
