Governor Insists Anambra Church Shooting 'Not Terrorist Attack,'

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, declared Monday as a day of mourning for those who died in Sunday’s attack at St Phillips Catholic Church Ozubulu which claimed 12 lives.

The governor stated this in a broadcast to the people of the state on Monday.

The governor, who debunked reports attributing the incident to terror attacks, again reiterated his earlier statement that the incident was a spill over of a drug war between indigenes of the state living abroad.

He promised that the perpetrators would be arrested and prosecuted no matter how highly placed they are in the society.

The governor also thanked President Muhamadu Buhari and Acting President Yemi Osibanjo for calling to show concern over the incident.
