Terrorists on Sunday night attacked St. Agnes Catholic Church in the Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State and abducted a catechist.
The Parish Priest of St. Agnes Parish, Rev. Fr. Lawrence Awua, told our correspondent on the phone that terrorists invaded the church and began shooting at 9:58 pm.
“I was in the room when the attackers came and started shooting sporadically and hitting objects on my door.
“I never responded and they probably thought I was not around.
“My catechist, who was in the church heard what was happening in the Parish House and was coming towards the house when they abducted him,” he said.
In a related development, gunmen on Sunday afternoon shot one Mr. Tavershima Faga in Borno-kurku, Bali local government area of the state.
