The leading aspirants for the Ekiti Central Federal Constituency 2 seat, Mr. Dele Philips has condemned the attack on worshippers at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owaluwa Street in Owo, where no fewer than 35 worshippers were killed and several others seriously injured.
Mr. Philips condoled with families of the victims, Owo community, the Catholic Church and the entire Nigeria describing the tragic incident as an act of inhumanity to mankind taken to the extreme.
In his words, “it was a black Sunday in Owo Kingdom in the neighbouring Ondo State and a terrific blow to the country. It is disheartening to see children, women and men in agony, while several corpses have been taken to the morgue”.
The international business mogul called on the federal government government to hunt and arrest perpetrators of the evil act, while calling on anyone with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators to oblige security operatives.
Mr. Philips also called on security agencies to beef up security at strategic locations, especially schools, worship centers as well as other areas where number of citizens are concentrated.
