The Deputy President of the
Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has described as beastly and sacrilegious the
Sunday massacre of worshippers at St. Philip’s Catholic Church Ozubulu, Anambra
State.
Ekweremadu, who also described
the day as a black Sunday, not only for Anambra State, but also the entire
nation, called on the security agencies to fish out the killers and bring them
to justice.
He said: “I received with a deep grief the news of the blood-curdling killing at St. Philip’s Catholic Church, Ozubulu today. It is indeed a black Sunday and the act is most sacrilegious and condemnable.
“My heartfelt condolences go to the Government and good people of Anambra, especially the bereaved families and the Church. I also pray God to grant the deceased a peaceful repose and the wounded a quick recovery.
“However, this dastardly act brings to the fore, once again, the need to reengineer our security system, especially our policing system to arrest the rising wave of violent crimes in the country”.
He said in the meantime, the
least the nation owes the deceased and the casualties was to work with the
security agencies “to apprehend the culprits and ensure that justice is done to
both the living and the dead”.
