Lighthouse Pathfinders Awareness Club has condemned in strong terms, the Sunday dastardly murder of worshippers at St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State.
The Club made the condemnation in a statement issued in Monday by its President, Mr Tunde Madehin.
“This is one killing too many in our country; and goes to further confirm the precarious state of the security of lives and property of Nigerians in their fatherland,” the statement said.
While praying that God accept the repose of the dead, the Club sympathised and commiserated with the families of victims, the Catholic Church family, Ondo State government, people of Owo in particular, and those of Ondo state in general.
” We also emphatise with the injured and wish them all a very quick recovery.
“We call on good spirited Nigerians, and particularly the government of Ondo State, under the leadership of Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, to donate generously to the management of Saint Francis Catholic Church, Owo, to allow it offer the necessary assistance to the families of the injured to cover their medical bills.
“We also implore healthy residents of the state to donate blood to the management of the hospital where these injured Nigerians are being treated, to aid those that may be in dare need blood transfusion,” Madehin said in the statement.
The admonished the evil minded perpetrators and others like them, that may be contemplating such heinous crime in the future to desist.
” We hasten to call on the government of Nigeria, superintended over by President Mohammadu Buhari to bring the perpetrators to book and restructure our security architecture to be more intelligence driven, so as to nip such attack as this in bud before it happens.
“For now, it is obvious that our security network is deficient in its duty of competently protecting Nigerians.
“We, therefore suggest that the country’s policing system be decentralised to allow for better efficiency and efficacy,” the statement further stated. (vitalnews)
