The alleged
target of the August 6th massacre at the St Phillips Catholic church in Ozubulu
in Anambra state, Aloysius Ikegwuonwu,(alias) Bishop, has finally broken
his
silence regarding the sad incident. Bishop who was at the palace of Igwe Nnamdi
Oruche, the traditional ruler of Ozubulu when Anambra State Council of
Traditional Rulers paid the monarch a condolence visit on Tuesday, August 15th,
urged the traditional rulers in the state to invoke the spirits of the gods of
the land to reveal the perpetrators of the massacre.
According to
the Sun, Bishop said that since the traditional rulers were custodians of
tradition in their various communities, they would pray that gods of the land
should reveal the killers of the church worshippers and bring them to justice.
Reacting to
allegations leveled against him as being one of those behind the attack, Bishop
said
“Has anybody
previously brought any complaint against me for any reason. Anybody I offended
should come out publicly and say it.”
He stressed
that the various empowerment programs he has initiated are pointers to the fact
that he is a peace loving person. He added that God has blessed him enough to
help others and that people should not be envious of that. He advised those
making negative statements about him to stop immediately.
It has been
alleged that the attack is as a result of a drug deal that went south between
Bishop, a suspected drug dealer, and another alleged drug lord, in South
Africa.
