Gunmen on Sunday invaded St Phillip’s Catholic Church in Ozubulu, a town in Anambra State.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), an unspecified number of people were killed.

A witness said the gunmen broke into the church around 6am, concealing their identities with masks.

He said after they gained entry, the gunmen identified a particular man whom they shot.
