Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Osun State Government condemn in strong terms the terrorist attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa street, Owo local government area of Ondo State, in which several lives were lost and many worshippers injured.

The St. Francis Catholic Church was on Sunday attacked with over 40 persons feared dead and others injured.
