"Na Outside I Go Dey": Man Refuses to Remain inside Church during Vigil over Fear of Bandits Attack

  • A Nigerian man chose to stay outside his church instead of joining other worshippers inside during a vigil
  • The man said he would rather remain outside to stay alert and be able to escape in case of any bandit attack on the church
  • His fear stems from the recent terrorist attack on a church in Kwara state, where some worshippers were killed and an unconfirmed number of people were abducted

A man, @ojugo_1, has shared a video on TikTok showing how he remained outside a church during its vigil over fear of bandits.

In the clip, the young man could be seen with some pals while other worshippers were seated in the church.
