The attacks were carried simultaneously on Catholic Church and the AIC (African Inland Church) as the worshippers were attending the morning sermons.
“At the AIC church 10 people were shot dead within the church compound and three were injured in a Catholic Church,” Philip Ndolo Deputy police boss said
“We condemn this act in the strongest terms possible.”
“We have not arrested any suspects but we have reports that five suspects were involved at the AIC attack which was a combination of grenade and shooting while two suspects were involved in the Catholic Church grenade attack,” he said.
