The Celebrity Journal Publishers Association of Nigeria (CJPAN) has condemned the attack perpetrated by unknown gunmen, who stormed a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria during service on Sunday and killed many innocent worshippers.
The association sympathized with the families of those that lost their lives, the Ondo State Government and the Owo kingdom at large.
This was made known in a statement by the President of the Association, Mr. Joshua Uloko, which was signed by the Public Relations Officer of the association, Mr. Sanya Ojo and dated Sunday June 5, 2022
According to Uloko, “church is the safest and perfect environment to run to when you needed peace from all walks of life and a hidden place from danger. The reverse is the case in Nigeria due to insecurity.
“The attack on worshipers in Owo is uncalled for, wicked and reckless.
“No person should lose his or her life in such an unwarranted and callous manner, as all lives are precious before God.”
He however called on security operatives to be proactive.
“Imagine gunmen attacking a church and operating for 20 minutes and still disappeared into the thin air without any arrest.
“This calls for more intelligence gathering and we are calling on the security agencies to do a thorough job in fishing out the perpetrators of the act and their sponsors, and also ensure that they face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others,” the statement
