They came on foot and were carrying sacks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;They even stopped at a point to buy roasted corn. We didn\u2019t pay them any attention until they got to the front of the Church and approached the driver of a Golf car and asked for his car key. When he resisted, they brought out a gun and the man cooperated and ran away. By this time, a small boy selling sweet was walking away; they called him back and shot him dead.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, we all ran inside and hid. They even shot at our house (pointing to bullet holes in the building) but none of us was affected. After about twenty minutes, the gunshot stopped and then people were wailing and crying.

People started running helter-skelter. Then, there was an explosion, in fact it was difficult to remember. About four or five of them started shooting at us. I saw a small boy looking for his parents, he was killed. They didn\u2019t spare anybody. Suddenly, a bullet hit me in the leg, all the people around me were dead. They were all young boys. My wife is also on admissions as she was affected by the explosion. The way they carried out that operation, it was like they were trained for it and their mission was to wipe out everybody. Some strange people have taken over, we don\u2019t understand what is happening anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to government to take the issue of security seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Another victim, Mrs Precious Sunday, was shot at the back and close to the breast. While writhing in pain, she also said it was by the grace of God that she survived the attack. \u201cI was in the Church with my three children, one of them \u2013 a four-year-old, was also shot and is receiving treatment at the children\u2019s ward.<\/p>\n<p>I never believed such a thing can happen in the Church and in a town like Owo which has always been peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old woman who claimed to be a business woman however said she can only pray that God forgives those who perpetrated this evil.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_195531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-195531\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-195531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/06\/kunlenet07\/2022\/06\/12\/Benjamin-Ozulumba-a-victim-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/06\/kunlenet07\/2022\/06\/12\/Benjamin-Ozulumba-a-victim-.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/06\/kunlenet07\/2022\/06\/12\/Benjamin-Ozulumba-a-victim--225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/06\/kunlenet07\/2022\/06\/12\/Benjamin-Ozulumba-a-victim--768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-195531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Benjamin Ozulumba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>49-year-old sawmiller, Benjamin Ozulumba in his own account, said \u201cIt was just like a scene from a horror movie, in fact it is difficult to describe.
