Unfortunately, the bad news wey reach us be say two people die that night. One victim dey among the congregation; Mr. Aderemi, fatally shot inside the church. Another victim, Mr. Tunde Asaba Ajayi, was spotted for bush. Plus, one vigilante guy, Segun Alaja, collect gunshot but dem rush am go ECWA Hospital for treatment.
