Nigerian-born Imam Alabi, survivor of New Zealand mosque attack, narrates ordeal vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Alabi Lateef said he was praying with others inside Linwood Masjid, the second mosque attacked last Friday by self-confessed white supremacist Tarrant, when he heard gunshots.

This is a terrorist attack.” Their actions may have saved further casualties, as Tarrant was apprehended by two armed police officers not far from Linwood mosque soon afterwards, while driving his car with a visibly smashed back window.
