JUST IN: Dozens of people are feared to have died after gunmen attacked a church in Nigeria, a U.S. official briefed on the massacre told ABC News.
An explosion and attackers armed with guns killed dozens of people and injured many more at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Nigeria's Ondo State on Sunday, government officials reported.
Nigerian authorities vowed to "hunt" the gunmen down and "make them pay," Governor of Nigeria's Ondo State Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said in a statement. "The vile and satanic attack is a calculated assault on the peace-loving people of Owo Kingdom who have enjoyed relative peace over the years," he said. "It is a black Sunday in Owo. Our hearts are heavy. Our peace and tranquility have been attacked by the enemies of the people. This is a personal loss, an attack on our dear state."
