JUST IN: Activist Harrison Gwamnishu Visits Eruku, Meets Elderly Woman Seen in Viral Church Attack Livestream

Renowned human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, has arrived in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, days after bandits attacked the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke Isegun, during a Tuesday evening service that was being livestreamed.
The shocking incident, which left two people dead and several kidnapped, triggered nationwide outrage after a live broadcast from the church captured the moment worshippers panicked and ran for safety. Among those seen in the viral footage was an elderly woman who, despite the chaos, remained seated in confusion and fear — a moment that deeply touched viewers across the country.
During his visit to Eruku, Gwamnishu met with the elderly woman featured in the livestream. His presence, according to residents, brought emotional relief to many who have been traumatized since the attack. The woman recounted how the bandits stormed the church, firing shots and dragging worshippers away in the middle of prayers.
Community members expressed gratitude for the activist’s visit, saying it has amplified their cry for justice and drawn national attention to the growing insecurity threatening their lives.
The community remains tense, with families still waiting for updates on their abducted relatives. Local vigilantes have intensified their patrols, but residents insist that the government must intervene with stronger and lasting security measures.
Gwamnishu used the visit to call on security agencies and the Kwara State Government to prioritize the rescue of those kidnapped and reinforce protection for rural communities and worship centers. He stressed that Nigerians should not have to fear for their lives while attending church services.
The visit has continued to attract reactions on social media, with many commending Gwamnishu for consistently showing compassion and standing by victims of violence and injustice.
