Gunmen opened fire on worshippers at a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria and also detonated explosives. Dozens are feared dead including children.
Lawmaker Ogunmolasuyi Oluwole said the attackers targeted the St Francis Catholic Church in Ondo state just as people gathered on Sunday.
Among the dead were many children, said Oluwole, who visited the scene and also the hospital in Owo – a town in the state where many of the wounded are being treated.
The motives and the precise death toll were not immediately clear. No group claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack.

Where the gunman Muslim? Guess I need to do my own research.
Then they should promote local religion and should stop forcing them to join cristanity.
Evil
It’s sad that black people are shooting fellow blacks who are worshiping the white statues 2:48
To anyone reading this: Nigeria is not safe. Better visit Ghana rather ✅️
PLEASE CAN A NIGERIAN IN THE COMME SECTION TELL ME WHO DID THIS?
Rest in peace you all

Islamik agenda of aj inside story
All Christian churches in Nigeria need to have monthly fasting or a week and pray against this.
Peaceful community spending peace all over the world.
Religion of peace strikes again 😔😔😔🙏🙏

Totally unfair, all religions should be respected and we should learn to live with harmony as all religions preach peace and mutual respect.
I wonder who are the perpetrators? And i am confused why al jazeera has not made any effort to find out the identity of the attackers…lol
👎👎👎👎🇳🇬
OWO
Heartbreaking!
My heart hurts because they died.
It hurts even more because they were believing in a Satanic lie( catholisim,), And died in that ,”Anti-GOD” lie!
Seek Christ!
Not muhammad!
Not the Pope
Not a preacher
Not a church
Seek GOD/Christ/Holy Spirit
in Africa why Christianity spirit so rapidly
Nigeria is a fail country, period.
One remark by Indian politician received 1000 times more attention than these killings
Yet the West doesn’t not think there is a war going on Nigeria. Nothing is really being done internationally to save the people from politicians & external enemies invading our Land
Peaceful religion killing people to rest in peace
Al jihad by Islamist group.they are same all around the world.
Yes sir they are islamic gang
Please Aljazeerah, support total separation of zoo called Nigeria, Biafra is the key.
Only Islam’s to be blamed
R.I.P.
Reporters should. be reporting objectively.
Stop saying clashes Fulani terrorist are killing the idigens in Nigeria. Be objective in your report.
The answer to the question why is this happening is in Deuteronomy 32: 36-39 the Colonizers bring their false God to us and forced us to worship their lies and deception which we do today in these Churches. That’s the Image on the wall. Our God is angry with is choosen people especially on these last days. Exodus 20: 8 is a commandment. Until God’s choosen people remove themselves from these Churches and come back to him has is holy people Deuteronomy 7:6 . and do as he commanded us to do .2 Corinthians 6:7 come out from among them.
What happens to the black lives matter now?
Peaceful community spreading peace all over the world
End Nigeria to save lives now !
Welcome to Islam
Lauda ka channel
I guess God was in another church that day.
Who attacked them? Why isn’t it in the title?
They don’t want to create narratives apparently 😂😂😂
You mean “Christians gunned down by 👉🏻 *ϻ·µ·§·|·ı·ϻ·š!!”*
1:53 You cowards!! Quit pretending you don’t know they are *ϻ·µ·§·|·ı·ϻ·š!!”* They are the only ones who go on kıIIıng sprees for Allah! Furthermore, they are the only ones who holler “ALLAHU AKBAR!” when they kıII on behalf of their sick, inept “god”.
allah hu akbar
The peaceful people spreading peace
To judge Nupur didi, Muslim rulers who mock Hindu gods and Christians should be brought to justice. If you are Hindu or Christian, wake up on the streets
The attacker’s were radicals Muslim …!
You guys forgot to mention.
Islam’s radical pigs killed innocent people. In the name of their Rafical Uncivilised so called Peacefull religion.
What a joke
Islam killed millions of personals till it is founded by its founder.
A group of Magias
Group of uncivilised War monger brutal radical pigs
India should apologize for reading from al Quran (quatar
Oh how come this channel is reporting this news.
An average day of a radical going on a killing spree. Seriously there is something wrong with that book.
I found this on WhatsApp with my mom weird random friend I think religious friend and he send this really graphic video which is very uncensored and I see a kid head probably blood explosion
Al Jazeera is a propaganda channel owned by the Govt of Qatar. It works in the interest of Qatar and they are a speaking channel for fancy English speaking jihadist.
They will NOT be missed
Do we now see why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was forced to create ESN? He saw what was coming. He did not only talk. He acted. He created ESN not to protect himself but his people SE of Nigeria known as Biafra that he so much loved. May the Lord continue to protect and keep mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
May the soul of the victim rest in peace.��
The next attack has already been planned and awaiting execution.
It’s moving from remote villages to closer towns like Owo.
It won’t stop in the towns, they will push into the cities.
They move money and supplies with great ease, and they get a steady supply of arms.
The message passed with the Owo mass killing is that they can strike anywhere they choose in the country.
I am not aware that they have been outrightly named as the terrorists that they are, calling them bandits is a tap on the wrist.
The doctors couldn’t sleep through the night as they battled to save those still breathing, but the political titans with structure were sipping wine in the presidential banquet hall.
Morgue attendants can barely catch their breath even this morning…
Fathers, mothers, youths, children, priests, in the sanctuary worshipping their God…
I don’t want to talk about the cowardice of suddenly attacking unarmed citizens because the greater cowardice is the mere rhetorics of condemning the acts we keep hearing from those with the responsibility to protect…
Make no mistake about it, there is an agenda enabled by powerful people and these terrorists are not stopping anytime soon…
The carnage that has happened across Nigeria in the last couple of years has been GROSSLY UNDER REPORTED…
There is only one human solution I see – the formidable unity of dwellers in different communities and cities and the consciousness for self-defense…
Politics and materialism are effective divisive tools to make such unity almost impossible, perhaps when the killings get more intense to the point of provoking retaliations, we will have no choice but to unite but it may be too late…
The Birom people of Plateau State have stayed standing even with countless attacks and killings against them because they have maintained an accord to stand in unity to defend their ancestral land even if it requires the last drop of blood in the vein of the last standing Birom man…
Nigeria is not a nation and even the country that we are appears to be faux…
This trajectory is not sustainable, something has to give…at some point.
The fire on the mountain seems like a beautiful scenery, so we ain’t running just yet, perhaps when the river overflows we will start running to nowhere.
Prayer now seems pointless, but we shall keep praying because the God I serve still rules in the affairs of men. ~ Maple Dappa
What we need:
1. new constitution.
2. History subject In our schools curriculum.
3. Resturureing.
4. 2014 national conference documents.
5. Say no to qouter system.
6. Allow Nigerians decide, the Nigeria they what and desire to have. Referendum.
7. Full meaning of Nigeria?
GEN T.Y Danjuma and Obidian allegations against the Nigerians Army working hand to hand with the fulani terrorist herdsmen
It has already been proven time without number that Nigerian military is protecting the Fulani Herdsmen that are kidnapping and killing Nigerians. This is the reason The Fulani APC government fought ESN who took it up to comb the forest to flush out these terrorists, Gunmen, kidnappers and murderers
A church attacked by what group?
Islamist 🤦
All knows what joe biden would say
If the government is unable to defend them then they need to take up arms. I say this as a Christian
May their souls rest in peace.
of course they are islamics. we know why that religion is a threat
Criminal attack carried out in the church, Nigerian media are not saying the truth.We all no is muslin attack on Christian
Islam is evil
Because you have not disseminated factual information, Nigerian journalists are also the promoters of 70% of Nigeria’s problems. According to a Nigerian source, the Lagos Youbars PVCs for voters center are not missing PVCs to the Igbo tribe in Lagos, and no Nigerian media has spoken out against it.
You desire a better Nigeria but do not love yourself . It’s time to get rid of tribalism and allow everyone to vote without fear of being harmed. otherwise, how did you anticipate good leadership?
My Nigerian friends, wake up.
