Following last Sunday’s terrorist strike on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Owo local government area, Ondo state Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has revealed why he rejected federal government’s conclusion of ISWAP terrorist group carrying out the attack.
During an interaction with a Swiss-based Christian human rights Organisation, Christian Solidarity International (CSI), on Friday June 10, Akeredolu faulted the claim made by FG because ISWAP always take responsibility for any attack it carries out.
Speaking further, Akeredolu described the attack as a crime against humanity, and also emphasized that the Southwest region had been a peaceful region before the tragic incident.
Akeredolu said;
”The statement is too hasty. I take their conclusion with a pinch of salt. ISWAP don’t hide their attacks. If they have done it, they would have owned up. We are yet to know their identity and our security people are still on their trail.
“We are helping the victims of the attack. Including those who lost their loved ones and those who are in the hospitals. We have also have people who have offered the state government some assistance. Some people have donated to the Catholic.”
