Ozubulu killings, the worst form of barbarism and wickedness on Southeast soil- Ex-Abia governor, Orji Uzor Kalu says

Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, has condemned the gun attack on worshippers at a Catholic Church in Ozubulu,
Anambra State today. In a press statement
released by his Special Assistant, Peter Eze,
Kalu said the attack is the worst form of
barbarism and wickedness on Southeast
soil. He called on both the Federal and State
governments to get to the root of the attack
and ensure that no such terror is visited on
worshippers in any part of the country.
According to him, worshippers should be
free to worship God without fear of terrorist
attacks. He said those who masterminded
the Ozubulu attack, must be brought to
book and judicially punished.
“News of an armed attack on worshippers
at St.Philips Catholic Church in Ozubulu in
Anambra State hit me with a shock. As I
send this, I still am unable to fathom the
rationale behind such barbarism and clear
wickedness. It is very depressing and no
reasons justify such act of terror. It is
condemnable. It is wrong. It is uncalled for.
We do not need further bloodshed in
Nigeria. I urge the security agencies, Federal
and state governments and all local security
apparatus to ensure that those behind this
barbaric act, and their sponsors, are
exposed and made to face the full wrath of
the law. We can’t continue like this. No one,
no matter how highly placed, should get
away with such acts. While I commiserate
with families of victims of the attack and the
Catholic Church in Anambra State,the state
government and Nigeria at large, I also wish
to call on all Nigerians to remain vigilant at
all times and report suspicious movements
around them to nearby vigilantes and
Police”, he said.
Dr. Kalu also urged the Inspector General of
Police to beef up security around places of
worship across the country so as to protect
worshippers.
