It is the latest in a series of attacks on Christians in Nigeria despite successive warnings about declining security and repeated calls to the government to act.
Rev Joseph Hayab, of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Kaduna branch, told national newspaper, Politics Nigeria, that he is "seriously worried" about the security situation.
Jo Newhouse, Sub Saharan Africa spokesperson for Open Doors, said the Nigerian government was "grossly failing its citizens".
