He condoled with the families of the deceased and prayed for the quick recovery of the injured.

The former Anambra State governor stressed that the right to life and peaceful assembly must be respected, adding that no group should be permitted to act with impunity.

“May the souls of the departed find eternal rest, and may God comfort their families in this time of sorrow,” he concluded.
