He said, “Nothing is stopping you from using all you can to secure your areas.”

Akeredolu assured the people of the state that his administration would remain undeterred and unwavering in its resolve to fight for justice and equity.

Akeredolu described the Owo attack as a tragic incident beyond any sense of decency and a serious assault on humanity.

“You can’t fathom what this mindless terrorist did in that church. You can’t imagine it until you can get there! To make matters worse if you have the opportunity of visiting the hospital facilities where a couple of victims are being treated, you cannot but weep”

Earlier, the ALGON chairman in the state, Mr Augustine Oloruntogbe, condoled with the governor and the people of the state, particularly the people of Owo and the victims on behalf of his colleagues.
