ONDO, June 05 (BBC): Gunmen have killed worshippers in a Catholic church in Ondo, south-west Nigeria, the state's governor has said.
Rotimi Akeredolu called it a "vile and satanic attack" on innocent people.
The armed men entered St Francis church in the town of Owo during a Sunday service. They fired into the congregation and then kidnapped a priest as well as some other church-goers, witnesses said.
Nigeria has experienced an upsurge in violence in recent months. Kidnappings and attacks have been reported across the vast country.
No figures for the numbers killed or abducted in Sunday's attack have been confirmed.
