Dogara said, “Have we lost our humanity? Where is the place of sanctity of life and sacredness of worship places in our society?
“What offence did the worshippers commit to warrant their massacre in cold blood by wicked souls and heartless men.”
Dogara stated that there was a need to equip the police with modern gadgets in order to discharge their duties.
He extended his condolences to the families of the victims, the people and government of Anambra, Nigeria and the Catholic Church over the sad and unfortunate incident.
Nigeria police was too fast in identifying the culprit unlike them. That killing was orchestrated by the government. Obiano is a big fool. The peace the east has been enjoying annoys them.
