Ondo Church Massacre: Fulanis, others are not our enemies, says Aregbesola
“Our neighbours from other parts of the country with whom we have lived together in peace and harmony are not and cannot be the enemy.”

NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA • JUNE 7, 2022

Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola has urged the people of Ondo not to see the massacre that took place on Sunday in a church as an attack by an ethnic group against them.

“Our neighbours from other parts of the country with whom we have lived together in peace and harmony are not and cannot be the enemy. We must not be provoked to senselessly attack each other in reaction to the evil plot of some nihilists and criminals bent on plunging the nation into chaos and anarchy,” said Mr Aregbesola in a statement on Monday amid claims that the attackers were Fulani herdsmen.

He made the claim in the wake of the murder of at least 50 worshipers at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo.

“It is worrisome that the attack happened in the South-West that has a measure of peace and tranquility. While the motive of the perpetrators is yet to be ascertained, there is no doubt that their cowardly act is intended to cause chaos and instill fear in the people, provoking bloody inter and intra ethnic crises,” stated the interior minister. “This could only have been intentioned to destabilise the state and plunge the nation into a needless crisis.”

He added, “Their action is capable of widening the cracks in national harmony and peaceful co-existence of Nigerians, stoking ethnic and religious crises and pitting our people against one another on the basis of primordial cleavages.”

Mr Aregbesola said the attack was to dampen the morale of the government and Owo community.

The minister, who conferred with the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin III, called for collaborative efforts between traditional institutions and law enforcement agencies in apprehending the fleeing criminals.

Mr Aregbesola visited the church alongside Governors Rotimi Akeredolu and Seyi Makinde. They were received by the church’s officiating priest, Andrew Abayomi.

“Those who attacked innocent people worshipping in the house of God are the enemies. They are cowardly savages and animals,” Mr Aregbesola further noted. He assured that the entire security system of Nigeria was on the trail of the enemies that were responsible for the massacre. “We are on their trail, they will be apprehended and made to pay dearly for this unprovoked attack.”

Wow

Yoruba Muslims is the problem of Yoruba and the south in general

If Tilumbu didn't say it, another Yoruba Muslim like Aregbe would echo it

Meanwhile it was Yoruba muslims Muric that have been turning this burnt dodo, inviting fulanis to cum do jihad in yorubaland because of the oppression cry

Yorubas, always dying to be politically correct.

How South West leaders are trying to defend this massacre is heartbreaking, Akeredolu said they are foreigners from Mali, Kemi said is a drug war, now this one is defending them, all just to win election they will be remote controlled by same people... Common sense is not common on this side.

Lol...diplomacy. The elders are either very wise or extremely stupiid.

The epitomized yaribanza mumuric idiot.

The goat is not even a full fledged Yaribabza but a descendant of an Ebira migrant cocoa farm laborer.

The Ebira is even worse than your typical Yaribabza ass licking Mumuric idiot .

Because the cowards know that their South West is Fulani clay.

They know this .

They are an already conquered region.

The yaribanza and the yamri are the biggest idiots in Nigeria .

Sharaaap they are

Cowardice just for electoral pity.

The kind of leaders we have...it's not happening to their families anyway.

Mtcheeew

See how we Easterners are dancing azonto.

Say it with your full chest..Igbos are the problem

Elections loading.........

They say they are wise in playing politics at the detriment of the lives of their tribesmen.....

Jonathan couldn't even do it,they insulted him and said they were masters at politics yet they are refugees 2022,killings lying here are there 2022 ontop political smartness and worshippers of evil elites

Refugees loading.......

The political class of the South West is a big problem to the region. Even the Olowo of Owo made it clear, when Yemi Osinbajo visited him, that the Fulanis have been commiting a lot of despicable things in their forest.

Yet, Aregbesola, because of political association and personal aggrandisement, is telling the man who reigns over the kingdom otherwise. God have mercy on Nigeria.

Hmmm

Aregbe should hit the nail on the head by calling the devil by its name and stop prevaricating

It's useless to start pointing fingers and profiling people openly. What south west leaders need to do is arm and develop an Amotekun Intelligence Agency to fight and counter terrorism.

Aregbesola na fanatics if they allow him he will turn the whole south west to caliphate abi wetin den dey call am.. if u don't know what to say it is better u keep shut Aregbe.. All ur mates are in Ondo to help victims bt na useless talk 2 please ur master wey dey use ur head u dey issue

TheNiceGuy come here now

What do you want him to say?

“Our neighbours from other parts of the country with whom we have lived together in peace and harmony are not and cannot be the enemy. We must not be provoked to senselessly attack each other in reaction to the evil plot of some nihilists and criminals bent on plunging the nation into chaos and anarchy,”!

Aregbesola is an Islam'ic fundamentalist, fanatic and jihadist. The only man that has ever poisoned the hearts of muslims against Christianity in Osun State. A terrorist will always surpport his fellow terrorists. I'm not surprised.

Hypocrisy is disturbing you all.
People gazette just gave headline that's different from the content.
