The Asiwaju of Owo Kingdom, Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, has strongly condemned the heinous terrorist attack, and killing of many innocent worshippers during a church service at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo city, Ondo State, on Sunday, June 5, 2022.
The frontline community leader, while condemning the mayhem that claimed the lives of no fewer than 40 persons described the attack as “a breach of peace and provocative attack that will incur the wrath of God.”
In a heartfelt condolence message to the Obas and people of Owo city, Otunba Fasawe decried the invasion of a peace-loving people by “evil-minded foreigners who unleashed terror on Owo Kingdom.”
While appealing for calm, Otunba Fasawe stated that his people are not “cowards who could be cowed into submission or intimidated into subjugation,” adding that the perpetrators must be apprehended and convicted in court.
Fasawe, the distinguished Owo chief, also commiserated with HRM Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye, and the ‘Ojomo Luda,’ the traditional rulers of Owo Kingdom, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Fasawe expressed concern about the country’s ongoing insecurity and encouraged relevant security agencies, both at the local and national level, to step up efforts to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.
