President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the attack on a
church in Owo LGA of Ondo state
The St Francis Catholic Church was attacked by gunmen while
the Sunday service was nearing its conclusion.
The gunmen were said to have detonated explosives before
firing at the worshippers.
Many people were killed in the attack, including children
and women.
The president, in a statement by Femi Adesina, his
spokesperson, said only demons from the underworld would have conceived and
carried out the attack.
Buhari condoled with the families of the deceased, the Ondo
state government and the Catholic community.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the heinous
killing of worshippers Sunday at the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa
Street, Owo Kingdom, in Ondo state,” the statement reads.
“The president says
only fiends from the nether region could have conceived and carried out such a
dastardly act, adding that eternal sorrow awaits them both on earth here, and
ultimately in the hereafter.
“President Buhari mourns the dead, condoles with their
families, the Catholic Church, and the Government of Ondo State, charging
emergency agencies to swing into action, and bring succor to the wounded.
“No matter what, this country shall never give in to evil and wicked people, and darkness will never overcome light. Nigeria will eventually win.”
