Gunmen numbering about 5 invaded St Philips Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area, Anambra state and killed many worshippers. Reports say 50 people were killed but Police said only 12 died and 18 seriously injured.
According to an eyewitness, the gunmen invaded the church around 7:30 am today, Sunday, August 6th, 2017
This may be due to gang violence as opposed to sectarian conflict.

Islamaphobic reporting. Real Islam means peaceful rule of the Islamic laws that are just and promote justice and equality of all Muslim free men.
This is sarcasm correct? My God it had better be....
The Pope said he was sorry to hear about this but it had nothing to do with Boko Haram (the local Islamist movement). Actually, it probably didn’t - Boko Haram was on its last legs, thanks to multinational assistance to Nigeria, but its remnants have been taken over by ISIS and they’re still active. Not that such a thing would bother Francis.
