However, sources , living close to the church said the fully armed hoodlums shot directly at the worshippers, killing two people, while three others sustained serious injuries.

“When they entered, they started shooting at every one outside the church. I now went and hid inside a cassava farm where the leaves were soaked.

“What I saw yesterday was like an action film in a movie. Kogi is no longer safe, ” a source said

Those who sustained injuries were rushed to the Federal Medical Center (FMC), Lokoja where they are currently receiving treatment.(vitalnewsngr.com)
