Anambra Killings: Buhari Condemn Attack, Calls Gov Obiano

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday night made a telephone call to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State to commiserate with him and people of the State over the Ozubulu Church attack.
The Sunday early morning attack on St. Philip Catholic Church, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area had claimed the lives of no fewer that 11 worshippers and 18 others injured.
Buhari had earlier in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, condemned the attack, describing the incident as “an appalling crime against humanity and unspeakable sacrilege”.
In the statement, the President said: “There was no justification whatsoever to target Church worshippers and kill them in cold blood.”
He expressed his deep sympathy with the families of the victims, the Church leadership and the government of Anambra.
However, barely two hours after the release of the President’s statement on the incident, Shehu also confirmed that the President had a telephone conversation with Obiano, during which he commiserated with him, families of the victims as well as the people of the state.
He said: “The President has just finished speaking to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, in the course of which he commiserated with him, the famines of the victims and the citizens of the state over the tragic shooting incident this morning.”
