Anambra state Governor Willie Obiano has visited St. Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu where eight worshippers were killed on Sunday.
Speaking on the church premises, the governor revealed that preliminary security investigations show that the shooting was caused by a feud between two brothers from the community living outside Nigeria.
“This is sacrilegious, totally unacceptable in Anambra state,” Obiano said.
The saddened governor asked the people to go about their businesses without fear or panic noting that this isolated case must be followed to the root and all perpetrators must be brought to book.
“We can’t allow this happen in Anambra, we must get everyone involved to face the music” the governor declared.
Obiano also visited Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi where the injured are being treated.
Thanking the doctors who were looking after the injured, the governor assured their families that all medical bills will be taken care of by the state government.
