That one is just too bad... Akuko ifo!

Once innocent people die of sick and demented people actions, whether brothers, boko haram or fulani herdsmen, the entire Ndiigbo have been angered.

All involved in this dastardly act will pay dearly the dire consequences involved in rubbing us of the fellowship of our now deceased brothers and sisters, both adult, children and elderly. RIP!

We will use dem(perpetrators) as scape-goat for others to learn 'dont be silly.'

Where did they get the previos 150 figure from. Even if it's World War sef.

They should bundle whoever is responsible for this wherever they are and deal with them decisively.

RIP to the dead.

A local hospital has confirmed 8 persons dead,and 18 injured as a result of the shooting.

The command assures Ndi Anambra that the police is on top of the situation and will locate and prosecute the perpetrators soon.

Intelligence report/Preliminary investigation show that the incident is as a result of a feud between two brothers who are from the community but who live outside Nigeria, one of the brothers built the church where the incident occurred.

The Command views this dastardly act as sacrilegious but for now considers it still premature to disclose the identities of the brothers.

The Command will brief the public after investigation is concluded.

Commissioner Umar commiserates with all those who lost their loved ones from this unfortunate incident and pledges that the command would not rest on its oars until the perpetrators are apprehended to face justice.

Ndi Anambra are advised to continue to be vigilant and to report suspicious movements and actions in their locality to the security agencies.

Distinguished Senator Andy Uba Weeps

-Arrives St. Phillips Catholic Church Ozubulu

-Consoles parishioners

-Visits Victims in the hospital

The distinguished Senator representing Anambra South had an unfortunate mood swing today Sunday after unknown gunmen attacked worshippers in a church in his constituency, St. Phillips Catholic Church, Ozubulu.

The incident which occurred around 9am Sunday morning saw about 8 worshipers dead with 18 injured (according to police report).

The Senator, who visited the crime scene spoke to newsmen after consoling some of the parishioners present.

His words:

"I was in the church when I heard the news, so I had to cut short my service to attend to this unfortunate incident. Right now, we are going to the hospital to see the accident victims. Incidents like this shows lack of neighborhood security and the need for community policing"

He urged the relevant Authorities to do everything possible to apprehend those who perpetuated this dastardly act.

He expressed his sympathy to the families who lost their loved ones and prayed that the good Lord whom they left their various homes to worship gives them the fortitude to bear the loss.
