The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alh. Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has condemned the bloody attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State.

The condemnation is contained in a statement signed by the Council’s Director of Administration, Arc. Zubairu Haruna Usman-Ugwu, stressing that the onslaught was a crime not only against humanity but a grievous and inexplicable sin.

The NSCIA urged all peoples of faith to take the attack as a direct assault on all law-abiding citizens and should therefore be in the vanguard to halt the evil that appears to be assailing the life, property and integrity of humanity, particularly believers in God.

The Council also called on the Governments at all levels to issue an ultimatum for the security agencies to unravel the identity and bring to book the perpetrators of the violation of sanctity of not only life but also religions.

“…For had it not been that God checks one set of people by means of another; monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the name of God is persistently mentioned, would surely have been pulled down. Verily, God will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, God is All-Strong, All-Mighty.(Q 22: 40)

“It is therefore mandatory for security agencies to help in rescuing the helpless citizens that we have all become”.

The Council, the statement said it stands in absolute solidarity with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Catholic community, the government and people of Ondo State and commiserates with the families
of the victims in this period of immeasurable agony and distress.

It will be recalled that no fewer than 35 people, mostly women and children were gruesomely killed on Sunday when yet to be identified gunmen invaded St Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State, during church service.(vitalnews)
