Residents of Agboda Village in Nasarawa State were thrown into chaos on [insert date] when a group of armed herdsmen invaded the community and disrupted a church programme. Eyewitnesses reported scenes of panic as worshippers fled for safety, with the attack sparking fear across the village.
The herdsmen, described by locals as terrorist elements, targeted the congregation during what was meant to be a peaceful gathering, highlighting the increasing insecurity that continues to affect communities in Nasarawa and other parts of central Nigeria.
Though details of casualties or injuries are yet to be confirmed, the incident underscores the vulnerability of religious gatherings in areas where armed herdsmen and other violent actors operate with impunity.
Community leaders and residents are now calling on security agencies to take urgent action to protect worshippers and prevent future attacks, warning that without a stronger security presence, fear and disruption will continue to threaten both life and livelihoods in Agboda Village.
The event raises broader concerns about the safety of rural communities in Nigeria, where attacks on churches and farmers’ lands are becoming increasingly frequent, putting ordinary citizens at constant risk.
