The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has condemned the massacre of innocent Church worshippers at St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State on Sunday 5th June 2022 describing the act as barbaric, despicable and sacrilege of the worst order.
According to a signed statement by the party National Publicity Secretary, Agbo Major, the party maintained that to kill dozens of worshippers and several others wounded inside a Church service is the height of insanity and wickedness.
The party calls on security agents to quickly arrest these terrorists and their sponsors to face the full weight of the law.
“Security agents should sit up and take their constitutional duties seriously particularly this general election season bearing in mind that security and welfare of the people are the primary purpose of government as enshrined in Section 14(2)b of the 1999 constitution as amended”.
NNPP shares the grief of the families of the dead and pray for speedy recovery of the wounded in this gruesome attack against the fatherland,he added.
The party also condemns the killing and setting ablaze of a young vigilante in Abuja last Saturday over allegation of blasphemy without recourse to due process of the law. The danger in mob action is that innocent people could be killed on frivolous, spurious and unfounded allegations. Nigeria is governed by rule of law, not rule of might.
