The apex society in Owo Kingdom, Owo Is One Association, has condemned last Sunday’s attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.
It condoled with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and the people of Owo Kingdom over the killing and injuring of the worshippers at the church.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Chief Akinboro Aruwajoye, the association said: “We sympathise with our paramount ruler, His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Ajibade Gbadegeshin Ogunoye III, Olowo of Owo Kingdom, the families of the bereaved and the Catholic community, and pray to Almighty God to comfort each and everyone of us. We pray that the Almighty God should heal the wounded and the injured.
“We don’t have any other place we can call home but Owo, our native home.
“God Almighty, we pray to you that you come to our aid and put a divine stop to all these incessant killings in Owo.
“We pray for peace to reign in Owo. God should deliver us and protect our souls from every calamity of this world in Jesus name.”
