The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has said that the government failed to defend the victims of the terr@r att@ck at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.

The governor said this on Friday, June 17, at the victims’ funeral mass which held at the Mydas Resort and Hotel, Owo.

Fi#hting back tears, Akeredolu said, “We have f@iled to defend these people. Not because we have not tried. But because these forces on the other side are ev#l and they have supports. They will not triumph over us forever
.
.
When I see the sea of heads that are here it speaks volumes. What has happened to us in Owo in Ondo state is indescribable. A lot of words are used to qualify it. Dast@rdly, horr@ndous. But I still believe there are words to use to describe it but I still short of those words.
.
.
We have just 22 (deceased) in this hall. A few of them have been buried. Because the relatives couldn’t wait till today. But as at the last count, these anim@ls came to the church and m#rdered 40 people.”
