The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the death of 11 persons after gunmen attacked St. Philips Catholic Church in Ozubulu, Anambra State.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Garba Umar, told Channels Television on Sunday that the gunmen went into the church during an early morning mass and shot sporadically at worshippers.
According to him, many people were injured in the attack while some of the victims died on their way to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi.
