By Tom Okpe

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep Femi Gbajabiamila, has demanded immediate action from government against Sunday’s attack on a Catholic church in Owo, Ondo State, which resulted in the death of many worshippers.

Gbajabiamila, who condemned the dastardly act, described those behind the attack as enemies of the state, who must be fished out and dealt with accordingly.

The Church was attacked on Sunday during Mass, killing scores of worshiper and many hospitalized, DailyTimes gathered.

He wondered, according to a statement, Sunday night signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, why anybody would attack worshippers at their place of worship saying; “only a wicked mind could kill in such a mindless manner.”

The Speaker lamented that activities of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and other criminal elements in the country were becoming a daily occurrence in Nigeria, pointing that “incessant attacks on innocent Nigerians across the country must be brought to an end.”
