A retired military General, and one-time Economic Community
of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) commander, General Damilola
Yusuf, on Wednesday in Kaduna said the arrest of the perpetrators of the
killings at St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, has raised a greater
hope for Nigerians that one day the increasing cases of bandits attack and
other forms of criminal activities in the country would be a thing of the past.
He urged the military high command to make those responsible
for the attack on the church face the punishment for their crime.
Recall that scores of worshippers, including children, were
killed during church service on June 5, 2022, when some gunmen invaded the
church
However, on August 9, 2022, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor told editors and reporters that security operatives have arrested the suspected killers.
Reacting to the arrest on Wednesday, General Yusuf noted
that the arrest signified a greater hope for Nigeria, adding that bandits and
other criminals will soon face the wrath of God.
“One day, all manners of killing, abduction of human beings
by terrorists and kidnappers will be a thing of the past,” he added.
According to him, if the security agents can arrest the Owo
perpetrators, then hope is not lost as Nigerians will still return to the olden
days when all religions are equal, as Muslims saw Christians as their brothers,
ate together, slept together, did business together and married one another.
He said in as much as the criminals are not relenting in their
evil deeds, there is the power that will also destroy them in a matter of time.
