Archbishop Obinna spoke through the Director of Media and Communications of the Owerri Catholic Archdiocese, Rev Fr. George Nwachukwu…. “The archbishop and the archdiocese have decided to take no action against the APC members who assaulted the church. We have taken the assault on the archbishop the same way Jesus was insulted, assaulted and humiliated on the cross of Calvary.”

“We have left it in the hands of God. The assault to the church and the archbishop was very painful, provocative and highly unwarranted; but we have resolved to press no charges but to leave it in the hands of God.”
