Security services have now rescued all 166 worshippers who were kidnapped by gunmen during attacks on two churches in northern Nigeria last month, a Christian group said on Thursday.
The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN credited the power of prayer and the military for the success of the operations in Kaduna state but did not go into details on how the churchgoers were freed or when.
The military, the police and the local government in Kaduna did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
