Owo Massacre: Group Hails Akeredolu's Handling Of Attack

As the nation grieves over the recent massacre of innocent persons at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, Ojulowo Omoluabi Group has expressed deep concerns about the last Sunday attack.

Chairman of the group, Victor Eniola Mark, in a statement he personally signed, commended the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, for the way his government handled the issue of insecurity in the state.

While condoling the victims of the attack, Mark called for the arrest of the perpetrators of the heinous crimes so that they can be brought to face the wrath of the law.

The statement reads, “I write this to commiserate with the entire people of Ondo State and empathize with Your Excellency, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, over the gruesome killing of innocent citizens yesterday.

“It is important to state that despite the widespread spate of insecurity in Nigeria and the threats posed to the world by wicked men of the underworld, you have intelligently handled a lot with great dexterity and mastery of administration.”

“While my political neutrality is public knowledge, it is only fair that I commend your mental sagacity with which you have been doing your bit in all spheres of life.

The humanity in you is always pronounced and I cannot help but condole you and commiserate with all who have lost a dear loved one in death,” it said.

Mark, who noted that nobody deserves to be killed in that manner, added, “It is indeed part of the last days, critical and hard to deal with. I am confident that even in the face of daunting challenges, you will thrive successfully and overcome these wicked elements.

“I not only condemn these acts of terrorism but pray that these pillaging marauders and their lurking conspirators are exposed and crushed quickly by justice. I wish the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear these losses and divine comfort for the bereaved,” the chairman said.
