The gunman was believed to have invaded the church in search of Aloysius Ikegwuonwu, an indigene of the area, who is based in South Africa.
Garba Umar, the state commissioner of police, had said the attacker spoke in Igbo dialect while shooting the worshippers.
Umar said the attack was carried out by a native of the area.
“From our findings, it is very clear that the person who carried the attack must be an indigene of the area,” he had said.
