A Nigerian lady's emotional social media post detailing her family's personal tragedy during the recent church attack in Eruku, Kwara State has gone viral, touching the hearts of many across the nation.
Heartbreaking Account from Eruku
The lady, using the X (formerly Twitter) handle @YOLICOM6, shared that her cousin, identified as Adesola Yinka, was among those abducted when bandits attacked the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku. She revealed the devastating detail that her cousin's baby was with her during the attack, making the situation particularly distressing for the family.
In her viral post published on November 20, 2025, she wrote: "My cousin was among the abducted from the CAC church by bandits in Eruku. She is with her baby. Adesola Yinka." The post has since circulated widely across social media platforms, drawing attention to the human cost of Nigeria's security challenges.
Public Outpouring of Support and Anger
The emotional disclosure prompted an immediate response from concerned Nigerians who flooded the comment section with messages of support, prayers, and frustration over the country's security situation.
User @anasuachara offered comforting words: "When a loved one is taken, the whole family feels the wound, but even in deep fear, hope must not die. A stolen moment does not mean a stolen future. May strength guide you, and may she return safely with her child."
Other reactions reflected the public's growing impatience with security challenges. @Montero1016 commented: "Olorun Oba o. I pray they are rescued alive. The entire 24 Jets & Tucanos must be deployed and the US must be ignored. We are at war in Nigeria!"
@Chibuzo85836523 expressed sympathy while calling for government action: "So sorry sister. God will see them through. Our Government need to tackle this insecurity issue as soon as possible."
Broader Context of the Eruku Incident
The attack on the CAC church in Eruku represents another concerning episode in Nigeria's ongoing security challenges. While some commentators attempted to downplay the severity of the situation, the lady's personal account provides undeniable evidence of the trauma experienced by affected families.
In related developments, a grandson identified his elderly grandmother seen in a viral video from the same incident, confirming she escaped physical harm despite the terrifying experience. This contrast between different outcomes highlights the random nature of such attacks and their profound impact on communities.
The incident has sparked renewed conversations about security measures in Kwara State and across Nigeria, with many citizens demanding more effective protection from violent attacks targeting places of worship and civilian populations.
