killings at St Philip’s Catholic Church, Ozubulu, Anambra State, to South
Africa, Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Garba Umar has said.

stated this on Wednesday when some Ozubulu widows carried a protest to his
office at Amawbia, Anambra State.
He
assured the people of Ozubulu that those involved in the killings must be
punished.
He
said the Federal Government, in conjunction with the Police, was working in
tandem with the South African government in making sure that justice was done
on the issue.
He
said, “We are resolute, we are determined, we must make sure the community and
its people are protected and we must go after anyone involved in this case, no
matter how connected the person is.”
He

on top of the situation.
