Some Gunmen stormed the St. Philip's Catholic Church this morning around 6am this morning (06 August 17) and opened fire on them killing over 150 worshippers most of which were women and children.
According to our correspondent who was at the scene of the incident, the gunmen were said to have gained entry into the church edifice in search of a South African-based indigene of the community popularly known as "Bishop" who was said to have built the church.
When they couldn't find him, they opened fire killing almost everyone in the church sanctuary while some members escaped with various degrees of injury.
