The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has protested the
killing of worshippers by gunmen at Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo,
headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Scores of
Christians were killed at the church during mass.
Members of the
association were armed with placards that read “Stop Persecution of
Christians”, “Don’t Play Politics With Our Lives”, “Stop Killing Christians”,
and “Address Insecurity in Nigeria Urgently”.
Others read “Enough of Condolences, We Need Action”, Christians
Are Not Happy, We Need Justice”,
Dare-devil
gunmen had on Sunday rained terror in the community when they attacked the church which is located in
the heart of the town.
The protesters
marched to the Palace of Olowo, Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye, to express their
displeasure over the attack.
The state CAN Chairman, Anslem Ologunowa, joined the demonstrators
and strongly condemned the attack.
They called the
incident barbaric and urged the government to increase security in the state.
