An attack on a church in Nigeria, on October 16th, resulted in the killing of three people. Gunmen shot at believers at a Christian mission church in Kogi state Abuja. At least two people were killed in an attack by gunmen on a church in Nigeria. According to the local security authorities, several perpetrators broke into a church of the Christian missionary church "Celestial Church" in the Lokoja region in the state of Kogi on Sunday evening and opened fire on believers gathered there. A woman and her young daughter were killed and three others injured, a police spokesman said, according to Nigerian media.
