The Ozubulu community in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra State were this morning thrown into mourning as a gun man walked into St Philip's Catholic Church and started shooting sporadically, killing 11 and injuring 18 persons

On hearing the sad development, Governor Obiano stormed the scene to ascertain the level of damage and sympathize with the people.

Speaking at the Church premises, the governor revealed that preliminary security investigations show that the shooting was caused by a feud between two brothers from the community living outside Nigeria

"This is sacrilegious, totally unacceptable in Anambra State." - Gov Obiano

The deeply saddened governor asked the people to go about their businesses without fear or panic noting that this isolated case must be followed to the root and all perpetrators must be brought to book.

"We can't allow this happen in Anambra, we must get everyone involved to face the music" the governor declared

Gov Obiano also visited Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi where the injured are being treated.

Thanking over 50 doctors who were on ground looking after the injured, the governor assured their families that all medical bills will be taken care of by the State Government

Attack in a church? Who did this? Why?

according to the news a south African based man was the target probably business gone wrong.
Another source have it that the bishop rejected in mbaise imo state was the target of the gunmen because the church was actually his parish and he normally conduct early morning mass as at 6am luckily for him He was not on ground when the massacre took place

And they had to kill innocent church attendees? This is terrorism in all its glory!! Business gone bad? I really hope its not due to the second possibility you adduced; that of the mbaise bishop otherwise it'll be clear Christianity has truly gone to the dogs

This is gross wickedness. RIP to the unfortunate ones

They should first get to the root of the matter. I don't like this idea of arriving at the cause and decisions right there at the scene of the crime.

Who is the shooter?

What is his motive?

Nigerians always pass judgements before investigation.

Just wonder. Said they were looking for some "rich man" from South Africa whom they believe was in the church.

Probably was a deal gone bad.

But the question is, how does this solve anything?

This is just saddening.

God rest the souls of the dead. Sincere condolences to the good people of Anambra.

Its indeed very bad o. I'm lost for words

And the post on fp says 150,, what an exaggeration. May their souls rest in peace.



The government should leave no stone unturned to bring down those connected to this hideous crime, why inside the church for Christ sake?



May the Lord the bereaved families the fortitude to bear the loss... what a pity

may God help us. this is sad

so this death was caused by two brothers. May God deal with them accordingly

Speechless

Rest in Peace to the dead

Sad news...take heart my brothers, I trust Obiano when it comes to taking swift actions, my condolences with the families affected.

Flirtyjane:

This story about a rift between 2 brothers is not believable. Someone thinks we are collective fools.

A massacre is not necessary if you want to kill a single person. The truth will come out soon enough.

If they had said someone is sending a reminder of how vulnerable we are and what war is all about, one could understand that.

The ego and violence of man is the biggest threat to civilization. Long live feminism!

I do not disagree with u. It could be there is a territorial spirit of greed and lust for money/ power/pride ruling over Igbo land.... these cases are too rampant in Igbo land. They do all sorts for money....

So how will you explain the ritual killings predominant in Kwara, Oyo, Osun and Ogun?

Babarism knows no bounds
