Governor David Umahi of Ebonhas condemned the bandit attack on the Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State which claimed many lives on Sunday.
Governor Umahi in a statement issued by his media aide, Francis Nwaze, described the incident as “sacrilegious, wondered why people take delight in unnecessary blood letting."
He expressed condolence to the affected families, the Catholic Community, and the Government of Ondo State for the “unfortunate loss of lives."
Umahi who is also the Chairman of the South East Governor's Forum called on Security Agencies to rise to the occasion to apprehend the bandits and forestall their reoccurrence in any part of the Country.
The APC Presidential aspirant also prayed to God to grant the deceased rest in His bosom and that the hoodlums meet their waterloo.
