We know that many have lost a lot and the greatest loss is the death of their relations. We hope the Federal Government will alleviate their sufferings.'First, we sympathise with the Bishop of Minna, the Most Reverend Martins Uzoukwu, the parish priest and parishioners and the relations of those who lost their lives in this painful and most regrettable terrorist event. With every ounce of our strength, we condemn this barbaric act targeted at innocent and peace loving Nigerians at their sacred place of worship.
