The Federal Government on Thursday said it has located the footprint of the Islamic State, West African Province, ISWAP for the Sunday att@ck of St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, in Ondo state that led to the death of about 38 persons.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, said this on Thursday while briefing State House Correspondents after the National Security Council meeting in Abuja.

He disclosed that security agencies, particularly the police, have been directed to apprehend the perpetrators. The former governor said the att@ck has no ethnic-religious connection, affirming that the group’s activity has nothing to do with religion.

The council, according to him, is also concerned about k#llings in the name of blasp#my and has directed the security agencies to go after perpetrators of the incidents that occurred in Sokoto State and Abuja recently.

Similarly, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba equally noted the imprints of the perpetrators of the Owo k#llingshave been identified and although no arrests have been made, security agencies are now zeroing in on them.
