Gunmen opened fire on an
evangelical church during a service in Okene Kogi state, killing at
least 19 people in the latest such attack in the country. This is of
grave concern as the attacks have shifted south.
“The attack was at 8:20 pm
yesterday night. The attack was from unknown gunmen at the Deeper Life
Church,” said Lt. Col. Gabriel Olorunyomi, head of the military’s Joint
Task Force (JTF) in Kogi state.
It is believed that many more were injured critically and maybe the death toll might rise.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility, but most people have suspected Boko Haram as they have
been responsible for most attacks recently. Boko Haram has claimed
scores of attacks on churches in northern and central Nigeria in recent
months as part of an insurgency that has killed hundreds.
