  BANDITS STRIKE CHURCH IN KWARA: WORSHIPPERS ABDUCTED IN SHOCKING ATTACK Chaos erupted in Omugo community, Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State, as armed bandits stormed an ECWA Church during Sunday morning service, abducting worshippers and sending the congregation fleeing in terror. Sources report that at least seven people were kidnapped before security forces could intervene.

SEVENTEEN BODIES RECOVERED IN COMOROS FROM BOAT CARRYING AFRICAN MIGRANTS. (PHOTO).


 Seventeen bodies recovered in Comoros from boat carrying African migrants


Seventeen bodies have been recovered from a boat ‌carrying African migrants that was found on the coast of Comoros, the Indian Ocean archipelago's interior minister said on Thursday.


Authorities ​said they believed the migrants were attempting to ​reach Mayotte, a French territory located between Mozambique ⁠and Madagascar.


The vessel was discovered late on Wednesday after ​residents of the coastal town of Mitsamiouli heard cries for ​help and alerted police, a local hospital director told Reuters.


Comoros Interior Minister Mohamed Ahamada told a press conference that nine bodies ​had been recovered early on Thursday, in addition to ​eight recovered overnight.


He said 30 people on board the boat had ‌survived.


The ⁠hospital director gave a death toll of 18 and said survivors reported they were from the Democratic Republic of Congo.


Ahamada told reporters that most of the migrants ​were from Congo.


Migrants ​often attempt ⁠the dangerous crossing to Mayotte, which - though the poorest of France's overseas territories - offers ​access to the French welfare system.


In 2024, ​at least ⁠25 people died near Mayotte after human traffickers capsized their boat, according to the U.N. migration agency IOM, which ⁠has ​said thousands have died on ​the route over the years.
