The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack on St. Phillips Catholic Church in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State which led to the death of scores of worshipers.
The APC, in a statement signed on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, commiserated with the Catholic Church in Nigeria, the government and people of Anambra State over the attack.
The party denounced the barbarism displayed by the “callous attackers” who gunned down “defenceless people” while they worshiped.
It called on security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of the crime were promptly apprehended and brought to justice.
The party also called on security agents in Anambra as well as other parts of the country to provide adequate security in places of worship to forestall a repeat of the unfortunate incident.
The APC prayed for the souls of the deceased to rest in peace.
