I am still in shock to hear that suspected terrorists reportedly blown-up St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, the Headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Reports suggest that many worshippers have died and several others have been left injured following the explosion at the church which is situated close to the palace of the Olowo of Owo
I shed tears when I saw the videos. Can there be any greater provocation than this? How do we respond to such barbarity, viciousness, and utter sacrilege?
Kudos to the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for his swift reaction to this dastardly act. However, more needs to be done to ensure the safety of our people and also their lives and properties.
Ondo State cannot overnight turn to bedlam for “man’s inhumanity to man”, we believe in the sanctity of life and as well place a high premium on peaceful coexistence. There is no justification for this mindless and satanic act. These criminals must be smoked-out and arrested and justice must be accordingly served.
My condolences to the affected families, members of the church, and the good people of Owo and Ondo State as a whole. May God heal our country.”
