Owo terror attack: Ohanaeze begins preparations for burial
By Osagie Otabor, Akure On Jun 8, 2022


The Ohaneze Ndigbo in Owo local government area has begun preparations for the purpose of taking corpses of its members who were killed in last Sunday’s terror to the Southeast for burial.

Four gunmen stormed the St Francis Catholic Church and killed many people while over 50 are receiving treatment for gunshot injuries.

The gunmen also threw dynamites into the church out of which two exploded inside the church.

Chairman of Ohaneze in Owo local government, Anayo Okorie, said they have commenced meetings to discuss on how to convey the bodies to their various states of the Southeast region.

“We are here to discuss the way forward for those that died. We cannot give you the actual figures of the Igbos that died because they were many.

“We are planning on how to take the bodies back home. It affected everybody that is why you see shops are still not open.”

Mr. Udo Blessing said the meetings would soon reach a conclusion on burial arrangements for the Igbos.

Business activities were still paralysed in parts of Owo community especially at the Owaluwa Street where the church is located.

A resident in the street Eugene said the shops were still closed because of the number of victims.

“Many of the shop owners are mourning ot taking care of love ones at the hospital. I was at home when the attack occured. I just hide myself somewhere.”

May their sour rest in peace, it is getting clearer every day where the source of the attacks are coming from.

Safe journey

May God Almighty receive these blessed souls in His heavenly home prepared for them.

They targeted that very church because they knew there will most likely be Igbos in a catholic church. This attack was in Yoruba land but the real target were Igbos. RIP.

Even in the house of God. Woe be unto the perpetrators of this evil act.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Many Igbos were gloating over the unfortunate attack thinking Yorubas were the only victims. Hmmm.

May the perpetrators of this dastardly act know no peace.

I confronted A woman yesterday. She was talking so much nonsense at my back.

How can you say that i should fast and pray so that persecution of Christians will stop. Isi odikwa dị unu mma?

The earlier we violently reply these Jihadist , the quicker we attain peace.

USA is very careful with Russia just as Russia is towards USA. E get WHY! This world is not balanced. Equality can only be achieved through Violence. You either Stand up and Fight back or you die and be forgotten.

Ikali imawa ya nti. Fasting gbu kwa ya ebeahu.

Even in Yorubaland, Igbos are the casualties of every terror attack there. This is so sad. RIP to the deceased.

I'm sad such pain was inflicted on my people. A thread was deleted and you needed to read what your brothers were typing on that thread, it was unbelievable. Even when i mentioned there's no homogeneous church in the West, they said I was being disingenuous and emotionally blackmailing them so they could sympathise with me.

Evil should be condemned even when it doesn't affect us because we only know today.

Deep inside, you are happy that Igbos suffered loss in that attack more. Most Catholic and Anglican Churches in SouthWest are largely dominated and built by Igbos there. Sad

When it happens in SE, that's how yorubas gloat, not minding who was involved. Don't tell me you don't know this already.

I'm not like you and your brothers who sympathize with victims of attack only if they are from your tribe but gloat and mock if they're from other tribes. I'm a Christian, I don't wish anybody evil, it is you who should search your heart.

Again, Igbos don't invest in Church in the West. They only attend, they mostly don't build.

Really sad honestly.

Never even know there are such number of Igbo casualties in the attack. Saw one Igbo guy talking on BBC Yoruba that he lost his family in the shooting too.

The SW governor should step up and finance Amotekun more so they can be more efficient to stop these kind of attacks.

Rest in peace to the dead.

Is there anything under the sun that they don't turn into igbo affair? Must you always make issues all about yourself?

And if den ask dem to list one igbo victim, den no go fit.

Attention-seeking losers..


RIP to the dead.

No, I don't know. To the best of my knowledge, Yorubas don't mock the bereaved, they only reflect and offer consolation.

You may want to provide evidence of where Yorubas mocked any tribe that got attacked by terrorists.

The people that perpetrated that dastardly act would never go unpunished

maybe because you haven’t joined your state union while in another man’s land. When anyone dies. the union makes preparations for burial with the family. bros. abeg. just shut up. no dey disgrace yourself. nothing political in this. even if na 1 igbo person die for owo. We go give am him full burial rites
