SAN FRANCISCO, August 08, (THEWILL) – Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has dismissed claims that Sunday’s killing at the St. Paul Catholic Church in Ozobulu, was carried out by Boko Haram insurgents.
Obiano made this known in Abuja after picking his nomination form for the state gubernatorial election on Tuesday.
The governor, responding to claim that the Anambra church attack was carried out by terrorists, rubbished the claim declaring that it was a feud between two gangsters that live outside Nigeria.
“Let me make this point. Ozobulu killing was not the kind of terrorism you use to know,” he said.
“It is not by Boko haram or anybody. Again it is not by people agitating for separation. It is a feud between two gangsters that live outside Nigeria.
“They killed themselves over there and they decided to come home and both of them are from that village where the church is built.
“We have picked up some guys already and very soon, I’m very confident that we are going to pick up the guy that did the killings dead or alive.”
Obiano also declared that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) posed no threat to the smooth conduct of the November 18 election in the state.
