A witness, who gave his name as Christopher, told The Nation that the incident occurred at St. Peters Catholic Church Gidan-Waya area of Jama’a local government area of the state.
He said the soldiers allegedly shot the church’s security guards who mounted a temporary stop and search check point in front of their church during mass, adding that many other worshippers sustained various degrees of injuries.
“The clash occurred at about 10.00am when church service was on. A soldier approached the church’s watch men popularly known as Cadet and ordered them to dismantle the temporary check point during the church service, but the boys refused the order on the argument that church service was ongoing and that they would do as soon as service was over, but the soldier was dissatisfied with the explanation,”he said.
