Ozubuu Massacre: Police, Anambra State Gvt Lied, Witnesses Say by Youngadvocate(m): 12:24pm On Aug 07, 2017
The purported report by the Anambra state Police command as well as the government of the state, making round on the insensitive and barbaric massacre of innocent worshipers at St. Philips Catholic Church of the state have been flawed and debunked as FALSE with the account by eye witness-worshipers at the church who are also, indigenes of the state.

According to the Nigerian Police as re-echoed by the state government, the mass shooting was a result of a disagreement between two billionaire brothers from the village, one of whom built the Church.

It was suspicious however, why the Police hurriedly made the statement just immediately after the incidence without proper findings both from the eye witnesses and the originators of the so-called feud.

Ejike Ofoegbu, from Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing, Anambra state chapter visited the venue of the scene to interact with the victims and have their account of the incident.

The eye witnesses interacted with shared their experience, maintaining that the Armed men were in Army Uniform and non of them was heard speaking Igbo language.

These narratives present a clear sharp contrast to the claim of the Anambra state Police who stated that the Armed men were in plain dress and spoke Igbo language.

Here are the narratives of the victims

First Hand Information On What Happened At Anambra State Today, As Ejike Ofoegbu Arrived Anambra From Aba

Please over look the police report, Ejike Ofoegbu said

Loveth Gift narrated.

"We all were in the church during the 6am morning mass today, we saw two cars that drove into the church; because it was a Church premises we over looked it and we considered them to be people that came for morning mass(service). But to the surprise of everyone, the car halted at the center of the gate, meaning you cannot close the gate, since it is open already.

"The driver came out of the car pretending he was fixing a problem; so everyone still ignored the drama happening outside the premises.

"Suddenly, some men came out from the car, fully armed, all in Army uniform. I was lucky because I was sitting at the back, just beside the door, but I was clearly seeing what was happening. The sky was cloudy and everywhere seemed dark; no one saw what they were carrying, whether it was gun, but surely they were fully equipped.

"They immediately rushed to the front door. I was too lucky to jump the fence, but before I had jumped, I heard gun shot everywhere in the building. They obstructed the front gate, because for women that is their only route to escape. That was why women were killed more than men. Children were killed as well, many were seriously injured.

"After I had escaped, I started making calls to link my church members who were in the church, but they were not picking up; not knowing they were dead already.

The gun men were not igbos, because their language were not igbo, the government should stop lying, I heard they said That, they gun Men were flashing touch light on us, but it a lie, because the whole church was so lighted that even from outside you will see who is inside. Even at that, if they were really flashing touch light to know who is their target, those that were killed, are they their target.

Like I said before and I will say it again, I was at the back door, I saw all that happened, they were with Army uniform, face covered, standing at the Front door, holding their trigger, and shooting at anything that moves.

When the police came, I was waiting for them to ask questions of what happened, so that I will explain, but they were busy taking pictures of the dead ones, without knowing the fact.

"Not too long after they had gone, I went back to the church. I was shocked with what I saw; my Mother was lying dead! Many people were unconscious but later succumbed to death.

"After about one hour of the killings, the Police arrived the church. Two hours later, the Governor, Willie Obiano arrived too. Everyone was shocked, wandering how the perpetrators stormed in Army uniform. Questions began to arise: "Who gave them the Army uniform?" Who gave them the Army car?"

Surely jihad is here, and everyone has to defend him/her self.

A woman who still survived the mayhem said, "All I could remember is that I was sitting at the front when some people in Army uniform invaded the Church and started shooting at everyone. They just held the trigger and fired at everyone they sighted. I managed to hide under the seat but was shot in the leg.

"A boy was shot in head, his brain burst, and blood spilled everywhere - even at my face." Ejike Ofoegbu reported.

Ndi Anambra and indeed, Nigerians are calling the government of Anambra state, the Police and the Federal government to come out to the public with the truth of the Massacre, expose the perpetrators and bring them to book.

The blood of these innocent citizens will always speak against and fight both the evil men of the underworld who did this sacrilage and every other person who seeks to use the dastardly act for either political gain or selfish aim.
