Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has promised that those behind the killings at St. Philip’s Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Anambra State will be brought to book.
The vow was contained in a statement by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Office of the Acting President, Laolu Akande, on Monday.
At least eight worshipers were killed and 18 injured when a gunman opened fire on worshippers at the church on Sunday morning.
Mr. Akande said in the statement that Osinbajo has since been receiving regular updates on the status of investigations regarding the atrocious and mindless acts of violence.
“The Acting President has been in touch with the Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, police authorities and other security agencies, and assures that the perpetrators of the heinous crimes would be brought to justice.
“Prof. Osinbajo condemns the despicable acts of violence, and commiserates with families, relatives, friends of the victims, the entire people and the government of Anambra State,” the statement said.
