An elderly woman who survived the bandit attack on an ECWA church in Omugo community, Ifelodun LGA of Kwara State, on March 22, 2026, has stated that God saved her from being harmed.
In an interview from from 5:31 with News Central TV, the woman said that while she and other worshippers were having a Bible study class, bandits invaded the church premises and fired sporadically.
The woman said when she wanted to escape she was pushed to the ground by other worshippers who were also trying to escape. She said when she stood up one of the bandits grabbed her hand, but she shouted, “Jesus save me,” and he released her.
The woman said that the bandit then picked up a heavy stick to strike her, but after she called on Jesus to save her again, he dropped the stick and stole only the bag she was carrying.
In her words: “After they had run off I stood up and tried to run but one of the bandits grabbed my hand and I started shouting “Jesus save me” and he let go of my hand. He then picked up a heavy stick and tried to strike me but I shouted again “Jesus save me.” He stopped, dropped the stick and instead took the bag I was carrying”
