Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has announced a seven-day mourning period in the state following the attack on Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo by gunmen.
Akeredolu ordered all public buildings, facilities, and official residences in the state to fly flags at half-mast for seven days in honor of the victims of the Sunday terror attack.
The Governor claims that the attack on the church’s innocent worshipers was a calculated and purposeful attack on the citizens of the state.
Those who carried out the unjustified terror attack on the people, according to Akeredolu, have put everyone’s resolve to the test.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, the Governor said, “We will not be deterred in responding appropriately to this dastardly act.
“In honour of the victims of this unfortunate attack, I hereby direct that all flags be flown at half-mast for seven days, starting from today, Monday, June 6, to Sunday, June 12, 2022.
“It is a collective loss to the people of our dear State.”
