The priest added that the church will look for a alternative, pending when the police deems it fir to vacate the premises.

Recall that Naija News reported the shooting spree orchestrated by a gunman in St. Philips Catholic Church on Sunday, August 6, resulting in the death of 13 members and some other members, critically injured.

Rev Aghaulo said: “There are many aspects to the Ozubulu incident and because it is a criminal offence, we are not going to pressurize the police to leave the church without completing their work.

“If the police remove the security gadgets mounted round the church, we will use it on Sunday; otherwise we will find an alternative place. There is no way we can muscle the police out of the church.”

Meanwhile, the traditional ruler of Ozubulu has come out with the problem that led to the Ozubulu massacre.
