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.”
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
