A Nigerian judge has granted a request to delay the beginning of a highly anticipated trial over the killing of dozens of Catholic worshippers in a church massacre that rocked the nation's usually safer southwest region and drew international condemnation. On June 5, 2022, gunmen attacked Saint Francis Catholic Church in Nigeria's Ondo state, killing at least 40 worshippers and injuring many others. Prosecutors "have said they shouldn't be granted bail" while the defence says they have been barred from meeting with their clients since their arrest more than three years ago. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
