A gang leader is holding more than 50 people hostage in a village. The captives are survivors of a violent gang attack that left at least 47 dead. The attack occurred in a community where displaced people had taken refuge in a church compound, and 22 victims were executed there.

The gang leader has threatened to take the hostages' lives if security forces kill gang members during a recapture attempt. A radio ministry is offering hope in the aftermath of the attack. Further details about the situation and the radio ministry's response are available from the source.
