Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu Visits Scene Of Bandit Attack At St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State

... visits survivors at the hospital.

GOV AKEREDOLU VISITS SCENE OF OWO ATTACK, SAYS HE IS TERRIBLY SAD

•This Is Massacre, Horrific

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has described the terror attack on innocent worshipers at St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo, as a massacre and horrific.

Governor Akeredolu, who said he was terribly sad, noted that the attack was the most dastardly act that could happen in any society.

Aside the scene of the attack, Governor Akeredolu also visited the hospitals where survivors of the unprovoked attack are receiving medical attention.

He was also at the palace of the Olowo of Owo, Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye, to condole with the monarch over the sad incident.

Arakunrin Akeredolu was joined by members of the state executive council led by the Secretary to the state government, Princess Oladunni Odu.

The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, Bishop Jude Arogundade, also visited the scene with the Governor.

Governor Akeredolu said: ”What has happened here today is tragic. No better way to qualify it. It is the most tragic event! Horrific! What we have seen in America is a child play to what has happened here.

“That it happened in a church, to say the least, is most condemnable. I feel terribly sad, and I can understand our people are in sad mood. Nobody will see or hear what happened here that will feel safe.

“But let me tell you, we have a duty to protect you. Our security agencies lost about two men. It was not an expected attack. It was sudden. How they entered and escaped is still surprising. What has happened met us unexpectedly.

“On this matter, don’t retaliate. We know what to do and you will hear it. The perpetrators will never escape. We are after them. And I can assure you we will get them. I am not boasting.

“I want to express my condolences to those who have lost their dear ones to this unnecessary gruesome murder. This is a great massacre. Our people in Ondo state we will not let down their guard. This will not happen again. We have all heads of security agencies here. They are listening to me, and I am urging them to take all necessary steps.

“This must not happen again. We must be very vigilant. I want to particularly send a word of condolence to the Bishop. What they damaged here is much. Dynamite was used. We can see pools of blood everywhere.

“I have come to appeal to you to maintain your calm and let the security agencies take charge. They are taking this seriously. Please, don’t take laws into your hands.”

At the palace of Olowo of Owo, Governor Akeredolu said the gunmen made a mistake of attacking Owo, vowing that they will not escape justice.

“What happened shocked me. It shocked everyone. It was like a deliberate target on Owo. But they made a mistake, because we are bold. We don’t run away from battles. We will fight them. No matter what it takes.

“Please, appeal to our people not to take laws into their hands. The government will not sit back without ensuring that those who did this pay for it," the Governor said.

The Olowo commended Governor Akeredolu for showing leadership, adding that it takes genuine leadership for the Governor to have flown into the state from Abuja barely three hours the incident happened.

“I called you less than three hours ago from Abuja and you are here already. That’s leadership. It’s quite unfortunate that this kind of incident would happen in Owo. There must be a motive behind this. It behoves on our security agencies to investigate this deep down so that those behind it will face the full wrath of the law.

“No one brings battle into Owo. We shall give it what it takes. I believe the federal government should be much more concern. Those behind this want to cause discord in the country. The whole nation is challenged. On our part, whatever is expected of us, we will do. I have spoken to our youths to remain calm,” the Olowo said.

At the hospitals, Governor Akeredolu commended the doctors and health workers for the prompt attention given to the survivors of the terror attack.

Weeping is a sign of weakness! Fulani NEVER shows mercy to those who weep! The roundabout at Enugu was weeping too and the killers only increased the tempo! They only ran away when IPOB opened a new page for them..You don't weep with the fulani, you don't beg them too! You don't try to preach to their conscience, they have none! What you do to the fulanis is to meet them with bigger Evil. They only run back when they see that you cut off hands and heads the same way they do. Very simple! You see how they run from ESN these days?

They are used to killing without reply and they are now running amok! This attack in Ondo State was carefully planned because of this governor! He championed Amotekun and he headed the Southern governors call for power shift! The Fulani whose grandfathers arrived here killing at will, are always of the opinion that killing is the best way to live. They're proud of their violent pedigree. They just wanted to shake the governor with some violence. The fulani will NEVER stop until we stop them! You can only stop the fulani by being tough and ruthless with them not by crying.

How won't mass klings happen in the south west, the people in charge of securing the south west are fulanis, army, police, civil defence down till road safety officials are all fulani people.

Who will report their brothers attrocities in a tribalistic country like Nigeria? Certainly not the fulanis.

When Nnamdi Kanu told us the only solution to Nigeria problems is outright balkanization, the yorubas were more concerned about who he insulted and who he didn't.

The evil he warned about is here now.

His brain is working well. This is exactly how others feel when your type mock them while these killings happen in other parts of the country. It is important for you to know this since you can only feel it when you are the victim.

Imagine that! These guys are unbelievable!
Every single day, we read of how people are massacred all over Nigeria and these guys act like they don't care! If you criticize Buhari for that, they will say you are doing so because of hate. That it is only hate that motivates the opposition against Buhari! Now, just one incident and they want all of us to be crying with them! Some are already calling for Nigerias disintegration! Imagine where they loose almost 5 million people! They will call for the disintegration of the planet naa... Awon generational PooPoocrats! These are the same people that were questioning the Methodist priest and his narration of his kidnap few days ago!?
Very Very irresponsible and unbelievable people!
I'm surprised they have not started blaming IPOB

It's a pity, how they think, the one that hurt me so much was how they think Nnamdi Kanu was overdoing things in 2016 and 2017, but Nnamdi Kanu has seen all these things that are happening now. Yorubas were only interested in plying politics in the national level to exclude Igbos, even in the face of the south being wiped out by the same fulanis. This is heartbreaking, attack to a southerner is an attack on all southerners, I wish the yorubas will realise this obvious fact.

Can't put it better..
As far as I'm concerned, the main goal of the average Tinupoo branch of South West politicians is to undo the Igbo. I don't think they're in it anymore because of what they aspire to get nationally. They're more interested in what they deprive the igbos from getting. There's this palpable desperation to contain the South East and they will go with anybody who promises to help them do so..

Again, no amount of injustice metted out to the igbos will injure the conscience of the average Tinupoo urchin. If the fulani herdsmen kill off all pregnant women in Imo State this night, these Tinubu hoodlums will be here first thing tomorrow morning to blame Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and ESN! They are that ruthlessly shameless.. How many people were killed at Ondo today? Remind them that the Army killed more than this in a single day in Anambra at the early stages of IPOB and they'll tell you to go deal with it..

I personally think that most of the rants against IPOB and all the evil they wish on them are just convinient smokescreens to hide the real target of their venom and frustrations; the Igbo man. When you hear them yell "kill every ipob or ESN or Kanu, what they're actually struggling with, is their primitive disgust of the Igbo mans guts and their Evil wish that he simply disappears from the surface of the earth.. Simple.

its not all about state police its all about security operations structure and command , our police structure and architecture are obsolete, you are calling the cp of police and dpo before chasing a criminal , no patrol vehicle , no fuel , no surveillance control centre , and the terrorists knew when to strike , on a Sunday, imagine they understood the system better
