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.
