During the solemn service led by the Reverend Father, congregants found themselves under siege as bees infiltrated the auditorium, launching a sudden and vicious attack.

Panic ensued as members scrambled to escape the relentless stings, resulting in injuries to numerous individuals.

The victims according to reports, were rushed to the hospital, where sadly, one person is said to have succumbed to the severity of the bee stings.
