Hours after terrorists attacked church with bomb, guns, police gives detail full of gaps
The Commissioner of Police in Ondo State, Mr Oyeyemi Oyediran, says he has deployed officers of the Explosive Ordinance Device Unit ( anti bomb squad) to the scene of explosion in Owo Local Government Area of the state.
This is contained in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Funmilayo Odunlami on Sunday in Akure.
Terrorists on Sunday attacked the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo, with guns and IEDs.
Many people were killed and injured as a result of an explosion which occurred at the church premises.
The CP said efforts were being intensified to arrest those who perpetrated the evil.
“The command is aware of the attack at Owo, we will give you the full details of the incident later.
“We want to implore the people of the state to be calm as all security apparatus are currently active to ensure peace in the area,” Oyediran said.
Identity, intention, and other details of the attackers remain puzzles.
