LEADERSHIP learnt that the attackers detonated an explosion, which killed scores of worshippers in the church before kidnapping some of the church members including a Reverend Father.

 

It was also gathered that the attackers came as worshippers and did not come with any vehicle, hence they hijacked vehicles on the road to convey their victims.

According to her, “The Commissioner of Police is on his way to the scene to ascertain the cause of the incident. We have been hearing many things about it but I will get back to you.”
