The All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned New Year attacks on worshipers in Kwara and Rivers States.

The party went ahead to condemn the killing of Chief of Numana, in Sanga local government area of Kaduna State, Dr Gambo Makama and his pregnant wife by yet-to-be identified gunmen on New Year's Day.

In a statement on Saturday, the APC publicity secretary Bolaji Abdullahi called for full investigation into the killings.

He said, "It is unfortunate that when people were looking forward to the New Year, they were killed and maimed in such gruesome, barbaric and needless manner.

"There can be no justification for these evil, wicked and callous attacks.

"While preliminary reports link the attacks in Kwara and Rivers State respectively to hoodlums and cultists in the reported areas, we call on relevant security agencies to embark on full investigation to unravel the perpetrators and make sure they face the full wrath of the law."
