June 05, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killing of worshippers at the St Francis Catholic Church, in Owo, the headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
THEWILL earlier reported that gunmen had stormed the church at Owa-luwa Street, Owo Kingdom, on Sunday and opened fire on worshipers leading to the death of an unspecified number of persons.
Reacting, the President in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said Nigeria will never succumb to the dictates of those he described as evil and wicked people.
“No matter what, this country shall never give in to evil and wicked people, and darkness will never overcome light. Nigeria will eventually win”, the President said.
According to the President, only fiends from the nether region could have conceived and carried out such a dastardly act, adding that eternal sorrow awaits them both on earth here and ultimately in the hereafter.
President Buhari mourned the dead, and condoled with their families, the Catholic church, and the Government of Ondo State, charging emergency agencies to swing into action and bring succour to the wounded.
