President Muhammadu Buhari has
condemned the attack on Ozubulu Church in
Anambra State by a yet to be identified gang
describing the incident as “an appalling
crime against humanity and unspeakable
sacrilege.”
Expressing his grief in a strongly worded
statement issued by Garba Shehu the the
Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, President Buhari said that “there
was no justification whatsoever to target
Church worshippers and kill them in cold
blood.”
He said this kind of atrocity “plumbs the
depth of depravity and extreme cruelty of
the kind that words cannot adequately
express.”
According to the President, there is no
religion that does not lay constant emphasis
on the sanctity of life, and that “all Nigerians
must rise up and speak with one voice
against these remorseless evil men.” While
expressing his deep felt sympathy with the
families of the victims, the Church leadership
and the government of Anambra State, he
reassured all Nigerians of his
administration’s firm and uncompromising
commitment to protect their lives and
property at all times.
