Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the heinous killing of worshippers on Sunday at the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo Kingdom, in Ondo State.

President Buhari while condemning the incident said that eternal sorrow awaits those behind killing both here on earth and in the hereafter.

In statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, President Buhari expressed shock and sadness, assuring that the killers of innocent worshippers must be brought to book.

The statement partly reads, “only fiends from the nether region could have conceived and carried out such dastardly act, adding that eternal sorrow awaits them both on earth here, and ultimately in the hereafter.”
