Again, A Catholic Church Is Attacked By Terrorists

By Adesina Soyooye

About two weeks after the gruesome attack on St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, which killed 40 Worshippers, injured over 60, and reverberated across Nigeria and a couple of Parliaments  in the World, terrorists have attacked another Church.

Attacked this Sunday, June 19, 2022, during Church Service is St. Moses Catholic Church, Robuh, Ungwan Aku in the Kajuru Local Government  Area of Kaduna State.

During the attack, three Worshippers were killed, and an unknown number abducted. Some were injured.

“Christians in Nigeria are under attack”, said a shocked survivor of the latest attack. “The idea is to scare them from practising their religion. But we shall overcome”, he added.

Eye witnesses said that just like the Owo attack, the gunmen came and opened fire just when the Priest started to say the closing prayers.

The injured were rushed to Hospital for treatment.

So far, there is no statement either from the Police or the State Government.

Kaduna, has, in the past many months, been reduced to a no-go area, the hot bed of terrorism. They kill and maim and abduct.

Ironically, Kaduna has the highest number of Military facilities in Nigeria.
