Terrorists attack a Catholic church in Taraba and kidnap a catechist.

 Terrorists attacked St. Agnes Catholic Church in Taraba State's Gassol Local Government Area on Sunday night and kidnapped a catechist.

Rev. Fr. Lawrence Awua, Parish Priest of St. Agnes Parish, told our correspondent over the phone that terrorists stormed the church and began shooting at 9:58 p.m.

"I was in the room when the attackers entered and began shooting randomly and hitting objects on my door."

"I never responded, and they probably assumed I wasn't there."

"My catechist, who was in the church, heard what was going on in the Parish House and was walking towards it when they kidnapped him," he explained.

In a related development, gunmen shot Mr. Tavershima Faga on Sunday afternoon in Borno-kurku, Bali local government area of the state.
