Gunmen have stormed a church in Nigeria, shooting dead one of the worshippers and kidnapping more than a hundred others.
The raid in Kaduna State in the centre of the country also left two Christians critically ill in hospital, according to initial reports.
The attackers swept into the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Kakau Daji when telecom networks were down, meaning that no-one could contact the authorities for help.
The kidnappers are demanding a ransom for the release of the Christians.
The family of one victim said the kidnappers told them that they had to pay more because the gunmen had to go the extra mile for network service before they were able to contact the families of their victims.
