Ozubulu Massacre: Agbalanze Speaks, I warned them!

By Ugochukwu Anigbogu, Agbalanze Odogwu Akunnia of Ozubulu

It's a shame my town has been put on the world map for the wrong reasons. We pray for the souls of the ones lost due to this terrible tragedy. It happened in my mother's village and it has been brewing for more than 3 years.

More than 30 to 40 Ozubulu people who live in South Africa have been killed before this incident, the killings before was in South Africa.

One of the principal actors (Bishop ) Aloysius Ikegwuonu spends 80 percent of his time in Naija now, I guess they decided to bring the war home to Nigeria.

The church the assasination took place was named by my grandfather Chief Philip Ajaegbo. It is called St Philips Church, the young man they came to kill built the church.

It's a black Sunday in Ozubulu, it's a black Sunday in Anambra, it's a black Sunday for every Christian all over the world. For innocent souls to be slaughtered like goats is reprehensible.

Some of us spoke out on the the dangerous dimension the crisis was taking, but we were ignored.

The traditional and the religious institutions share a fair amount of blame in this unfortunate incident, including the Bishop of Nnewi. They all refused to ask the hard questions, some of you that came for my grandmother's burial last year November, might remember the church in question."

"Sad, Shame. Tears in my eyes . Most of the dead are people I know."
