Ondo Church Terror Killings: Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa Calls
for Declaration of Emergency
The Convener of the New Nigeria Group (NNG) and former Presidential Aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, has called on the federal government to declare a state of emergency in the security sector.
This even as Ohuabunwa slammed the bloody terrorist attack carried out by suspected bandits at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo , Ondo State last Sunday.
Shocked by the unprovoked heinous massacre which reportedly left scores of worshippers dead at the close of service on Sunday, Ohuabunwa condoled with the government and people of Ondo State and the Catholic Diocese over the ignoble act.
He strongly condemned the criminals behind the act, describing them as heartless cowards that must face justice.
His words: This latest bloody terror attack in Nigeria is one too many. It is a totally abhorrent and abominable assault on not only the Catholic Church at Owo, but also on the entire Christendom and indeed humanity. An invasion of a place of worship like this is unacceptable, and the massacre is pure evil
“The heartless cowards that perpetrated this horrific evil must be fished out and punished by the law”.
Ohuabunwa prayed that the souls of the victims rest in peace, while calling on the Federal Government to immediately declare the current persisting insecurity as a national emergency since there can be no meaningful development where lives and property are not safe.
He further emphasize the imperative of using advanced security technology, and also advises the nation’s security agencies to find smarter ways to manage and leverage security intelligence to effectively prevent terror attacks before they happen.
