Gunmen have reportedly invaded the Celestial Church of Christ, SBJ Oshofa Parish, Wasimi, Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State and abducted two worshippers.
The victims are Oluwaseun Ajose, Assistant Shepherd of the parish, and Dagunro Ayobami, a Sunday school teacher.
The News Agency of Nigeria is reporting that the hoodlums, numbering four, were said to have stormed the church premises at about 11pm on Monday and took away the two worshippers.
It was gathered that the church is located at an isolated area, which allowed the gunmen to operate unhindered.
