Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has
condemned the attack on innocent worshippers at St. Francis Xavier Catholic
Church in Owo, Ondo State.
Amaechi, in a statement by his media office on Sunday in
Abuja, commiserated with the affected families, the church, the people of the
Owo community and the Government of Ondo State.
He described the incident as an absolutely vile and
senseless murder of innocent citizens, adding that the security agencies should
smoke out the monsters responsible for the barbaric act and punish them.
Ameachi said, “I feel so sad that these criminals are so
emboldened to carry out these barbaric attacks on the people in broad daylight.
“Our security agencies have to put heads together and smoke
out these monsters and ensure they are punished, immobilised and totally
flushed out.
“I pray for the families, the church, the people and the
Government of Ondo state to find strength in the midst of the sorrow and pain.”
Recall that the church was attacked on Sunday by yet to be
identified gunmen, leading to the killing of scores of worshippers.
Meanwhile, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State
sympathised with his Ondo State counterpart, Rotimi Akeredolu and the people of
the State over the killing of the worshippers.
The Governor, in a statement signed by Gboyega Akosile, his
Chief Press Secretary, on Sunday evening, described the attack as inhuman,
callous and despicable.
“On behalf of the government and people of Lagos State, I
commiserate with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Ondo State Government and the
entire people of the State over the tragic loss caused by the attack and
killings of worshippers by the evil men this morning.
“It’s a barbaric, callous and despicable crime for any man
to attack and kill worshippers or any fellow man in a manner the
yet-to-be-identified gunmen carried out the heinous crime in the Catholic
Church this morning,” Sanwo-Olu said.
