YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOperatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested a suspect linked to the attack on a church in Kogi State.
The suspect, identified as one Shafiu Usman, is said to have been the mastermind of the 2025 deadly assault on the First ECWA Church in Ayetoro Kiri, Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of the North-Central state.
A DSS source confirmed the arrest to Channels Television via the telephone on Friday.
However, the source did not provide further details as to where or when the suspect was apprehended.
Gunmen suspected to be terrorists had, on December 14, 2025, stormed the First Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA).
The attack reportedly occurred when the assailants stormed the church during a worship service, firing indiscriminately to cause panic among congregants.
Eyewitnesses said that the gunmen arrived while the service was in progress, forcing many worshippers to flee, while an undisclosed number were seized and taken away through nearby bush paths.
The attack plunged the community into confusion and fear, as residents scampered to safety amid the sound of gunshots.
