Many are feared dead as gunmen, on Sunday, invaded the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo Local Government Area, Ondo State, throwing dynamites into the congregation.
Stonix News gathered that the gunmen, suspected to be Fulani marauders, rained hot pellets on the congregation after gaining entry into the church premises via the main gate and fence, leaving several dead and others injured.
It was also gathered that one of the priests of the church was kidnapped and whisked away to an unknown destination.
One of the priests, Father Andrew, speaking with journalists, said they had hardly shared the grace when the guntotters invaded the church shooting sporadically and throwing dynamites at the congregation.
Video footages sighted by Stonix News show mangled bodies of women and children on the floor of the cathedral reputed as the biggest in the ancient town.
