Gunmen with unknown motives massacred worshippers during Catholic mass on Sunday in southwest Nigeria, including women and children, with a doctor at a local hospital telling Reuters at least 50 dead were brought in to two hospitals.
Ondo state police are investigating the attack on Owo’s St. Francis Catholic Church but haven’t identified the shooters, spokesperson Funmilayo Ibukun Odunlami said, without giving a casualty estimate. Its lawmaker in the Ondo House Assembly, Adeyemi Olayemi, told CNN at least 28 were killed. President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the “heinous” attack.
In tweets, Governor Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said he visited the scene and injured parishioners in the hospital and called the ” vile and satanic attack … a calculated assault on the peace-loving people of Owo Kingdom who have enjoyed relative peace over the years.”
Apparently referring to recent mass shootings in the U.S., Akeredolu said: ” What we have seen in America is a child play to what has happened here.” Pope Francis is praying for the victims who were “painfully stricken in a moment of celebration,” the Vatican said.
According to Reuters, attacks like these are rare in southwest Nigeria. An Islamist insurgency is pronounced in the northeast, while the northwest suffers from armed gangs “who carry out attacks and kidnappings for ransom.”

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
