Owo massacre: What Amaechi said about killing of Catholic church members in Ondo

Rotimi Amaechi, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed his sadness over the killing of worshippers at a church in Owo, Ondo State.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that at least 25 members of Francis Xavier Catholic Church, were butchered after herdsmen invaded thier church during mass on Sunday.

Reacting, Amaechi described the attack as, “a terrible, absolutely vile and senseless murder of innocent citizens.”

The former Governor of Rivers State and immediate past Minister of Transportation, urged security agencies to collaborate and fish out the perpetrators, saying, “I feel so sad and livid that these criminals are so emboldened to carry out these barbaric attacks on the people in broad daylight. Our security agencies have to put heads together and smoke out these monsters and ensure they are punished, immobilized, and totally flushed out.

“They must also in partnership with our government, step up intelligence and work round the clock to nip such acts of terror in the bud.

“May the souls of the departed rest in the bosom of the Lord. I also pray for the families, the church, the people and the Government of Ondo State to find strength in the midst of the sorrow and pain.”
