He mentioned that seeing an elderly woman trying to escape broke his heart, as he wondered where the attackers got their weapons from.

His Facebook post read:

“This is the @ttack video from the CAC Church in Kwara State. Honestly, the part that broke me the most was this elderly woman trying to escape with a walking stick. She couldn’t even run. She was just struggling to walk while chaos was happening around her. It’s heartbreaking.
“The question still remains the same: where and how are these t£rr0rists getting their sophisticat£d w£apons they are using that even the military doesn't have? Without anyone sponsoring them, I'm not sure if they can have access to the weapons they are using that even the military doesn't have.
“Let me say this unapologetically, some of the Nigerian government officials or some individuals are behind the sponsorship of these t£rr0rists, and these people need to be fished out to face the full wrath of the law.
