APGA condemns terrorist attack in Owo

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack on a Catholic Church in the Ondo State town of Owo.

In a statement issued yesterday and signed by Barrister Tex Okechukwu, National Publicity Secretary of the APGA, the party questioned why any right-thinking person would commit such a heinous and inhuman act against innocent worshippers.

It expressed angst at the unfortunate development and charged security agencies to unmask those behind the attack and deal decisively with them to serve as a deterrent to those planning to polarize this country through the fanning of the embers of hate, ethno-religious inclinations and divisiveness.

“This kind of unprovoked attack should not be allowed to recur as any recurrence would have weight consequences on the fragile peace and unity of our nation,” the statement added.

APGA sympathized with the families of the victims of the attack, including the government and people of Ondo State, and prayed God to console them.
