Tuesday around 6 p.m. local time, several armed men stormed into the small Eruku church, located in Kwara State, disturbing worshipers who had come to pray. The attack was captured by a church camera filming the mass.

The video, which caused great emotion on social networks where it was broadcast, shows about twenty worshipers interrupting their prayer due to the sound of gunfire coming from outside the church. Children’s cries could be heard there.
