A security source who confirmed the incident from the affected community said that one worshipper was killed on the spot (after being critical shot) and three others sustained serious gunshot wounds before the attackers were repelled.

The report said security operatives, arrived on the scene following a tip-off, and they were swift in rushing the wounded worshippers to a hospital in the local area. “There would have been more dead people at that church today if we did not intervene as quickly as we did,” the security source said.

The site of the attack is located in the violence-prone southern part of Kaduna State where Fulani herdsmen frequently descend on residents of different communities in what many have termed conflict of the ethnic and religious nature.
