Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has said that Federal Government’s conclusion that the Sunday attack on St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, was carried out by Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists, was too hasty.
The governor made this known during a meeting with a Swiss-based Christian human rights organization, the Christian Solidarity International.
Describing the attack as a crime against humanity, the Governor stressed that the Southwest region has always been a peaceful region before the tragic event.
“The statement is too hasty. I take their conclusion with a pinch of salt. ISWAP doesn’t hide its attacks. If they have done it, they would have owned up.
