Onuoha, in a press release, described the the attack as “gruesome bombing of civilians”.

He said that “the act is not only barbaric and inhumane, but a clear violation of international humanitarian laws.
“…It represents a disturbing escalation of violence against our people.
“The use of military firepower against unarmed civilians is a disgrace that must not be tolerated in any civilized society,” he fumed.
Onuoha further decried the silence of relevant authorities, including the state governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo.
He further lambasted other lawmakers, especially those representing Mbosi and other affected areas.
He called for an immediate, impartial and transparent investigation to identify and prosecute the perpetrators of the crime.
