office shortly after he led a church service in Lokoja, the state capital,
thanked the government for the concern shown the survivors and family members
of the victims.

government’s gesture in accepting to defray the cost of treatment.
“The killing of these faithful members of
Deeper Life Bible Church, who were worshipping and reflecting on the Bible
study message, has added a critical dimension to the security challenges
confronting the nation currently.
“As a church, we are mindful of the
assault of the forces of darkness against the nation and the Body of Christ.”
The cleric also appreciated the
quick intervention of security agencies.
Kumuyi said: “We appreciate the efforts of
the nation’s security agencies and the supreme sacrifice their personnel are
paying to stem the tide of terrorism in Nigeria.
“We urge the government to take more
decisive and proactive measure to protect the lives of defenceless and innocent
Nigerians against the menace.
“It is indeed worrisome that Kogi that had
been very peaceful is being dragged into the fold of terror-stricken states.”

achievement in arresting some suspects.

devilish act will face the wrath of the law irrespective of his or her position
