Senator Andy Uba has condemned in strong terms the shooting and killing of worshippers at the St. Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra state.
In a statement issued by the Director of Media, Ndidi Kennedy Ukaga , Sen. Uba who visited the scene of the incident said that the people of Anambra were not known for violence.
He called on the commissioner of Police and the state governor to ensure that the perpetrators of such dastardly act are brought to book.
Uba who was very emotional, also donated an undisclosed amount of maney to aid the treatment of the victims.
“Such acts cannot be tolerated in Anambra: for worshippers to be slaughtered during mass is something that we must not allow in this state.
“I call on the state governor and the commissioner of police to immediately swing into action to root out those who killed these innocent worshippers”.
“My heart goes out to the families of the deceased"
Senator Uba also suspended his campaign to secure the APC ticket for two days in honour of the victims, cancelling his meetings with certain delegates and party members deemed to be strategic to his ambition to govern the Anambra.
