Many feared killed at an Early morning Catholic mass shooting by Unknown Gun men who stormed a church at Ozubulu in Ekwusigo LGA of Anambra State .

Over 20 deaths recorded already according report .

While I sympathize with all the affected families , I wish to submit that this is a time for we to unite against any form of barbarism against our people !

This is not a time for blame games ,but a time for great people created by great God to stand up and secure our people .

Security agency must do everything to arrest the perpetuators of Ozubulu Massacre for them to face the law .

No excuse should make anyone to move into a Church of God and start shooting innocent worshipers !
