The worshippers were in the Sunday service in the Church when around 9:30 am they heard gunshots very close to the Church. The gunmen attacked the church and went away with about 40 worshippers.

“Along the way, 15 of the abducted persons returned remaining 25 who are presently in captivity without any word from their abductors.”
