Gunmen killed dozens of church worshippers in Ondo state, south-west Nigeria, when they entered St Francis Catholic church in the town of Owo on Sunday, and fired at the congregation during a service to mark the holiday of Pentecost. The Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has declared a week of聽mourning for those who were killed.

One of those who's been affected is Olalekan Adebowale Agboola. He explains how he found out his mother, Mrs Caroline Aina Agboola, was among the victims killed by the armed men.

"She took care of everyone in the family and was very strong."
