Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the Federal
Government will continue to stand against evil.
Osinbajo, who is also a presidential aspirant under the All
Progressives Congress, made this known in a statement on Sunday, as he
condemned the attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State.
The incident which led to loss of lives, happened in the
church, which is less than 200 meters away from the Palace of Olowo of Owo.
The President, Muhammadu Buhari, while
reacting to the incident, had earlier noted that the country will not surrender
to wicked people.
Backing Buhari’s statement, Osinbajo said, “I join President
Muhammadu Buhari to condemn in strongest terms, the atrocious killing of
worshippers Sunday at the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo
Kingdom, in Ondo State.
“This saddens inexplicably, and I mourn the dead from this
very unfortunate event. Also, my thoughts and my prayers go to the victims and
their families, the Catholic Church, and the government of Ondo state.
“We will not cower to
the whims of elements who lurk in darkness to unleash inconceivable wickedness
on our citizens. We will keep standing against evil and Nigeria will win.
“As the President has charged, emergency agencies are to
swing into action to bring succor to the wounded.
“We stand in utter solidarity with the people of Owo and Ondo state in this terrible moment.”
