Ozubulu Church Shooting: Police Invites "Bishop" Aloysius Ikegwuonu

The Anambra State Police Command has invited the founder of Ebubechukwu Uzo Foundation, Chief Aloysius Ikegwuonu, who suspected gunmen were said to be looking for when they attacked St Philip’s Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu on Sunday August 6th, 2017.

Ikegwuonu’s father was among the 13 people who lost their lives during the attack in which nearly 30 people were wounded.

Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in Anambra State, Mrs. Nkiru Nwode, said, yesterday, that Ikegwuonu, popularly called ‘Bishop’, is expected to appear at the police headquarters in Awka on Friday.

Ikegwuonu, who left the state before the attack on the church he built for his community, was said to have returned to the state last Saturday and attended the first Mass at St Philip’s on Sunday. He declined to speak to anybody after the church service in which the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, SSG, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, also attended as part of a ceremony to reopen the church.

Nwode said the invitation to Ikegwuonu could not be taken to mean arrest, adding that the police had no reason to arrest him.
