The shocking attack on a Catholic church in south-western Nigeria on Sunday killed 22 people and injured 50 others, according to the National Emergency Management Agency.
It’s the first time officials have given a death toll since the attack two days ago, but still no information has been given by the authorities about who the attackers were nor why they did it.
Eyewitnesses at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo had put the number of dead at at least 50, including several children.
Police say the attackers had disguised themselves as worshippers, using dynamite inside the church and opening fire on congregants who were attending an Igbo-language service.
