Governor Akeredolu said the attackers are foreigners from Mali, trained in Libya and promised that the culprits will be arrested soon.
While describing the attack as vile and satanic, the governor urged residents of the state to keep calm and not take the laws into their hands.
In his words:
“What happened here is too tragic. It is the most tragic event. What is happening in America is a child’s play to what has happened here.
"To say the least, it is condemnable. I’m grieved. Let me let you know that we have a duty to protect you.
“Security services also lost about two men. The attack was sudden. How they carried out the attack and entered the church cannot be explained.
“No one thought that such incident could happen in Ondo State.
“Let us not retaliate because we will apprehend them. Don’t take laws into your hands. I want to express my condolences to the families of the victims.
"Security agencies in the state must take all steps necessary because this must not repeat itself.
“On our own part, we must be vigilant. We take responsibility for what has happened.
“Most of those that are carrying out this attacks are foreigners from Mali who were trained in Libya,” he said.

ReplyDeleteHow can you come up with such a hasty conclusion? No investigation, just to protect your party Fulanis in the State? I don't expect this from the chief security of the state at least not when over we're murdered in cold blood, in the church,. No!
ReplyDeleteThose that carried out the attack are from Mali trained in Libya.
ReplyDeleteIt has gotten to the level that when your children, brothers and sisters are killed you will be told what to say.
Una never still get sense!!
Let's watch and see if any single person will be arrested and prosecuted. You are done speaking grammar but we are watching to see the Grammer in action.
This is what they were told to always say in such situations. Our politicians are heartless and only interested in winning elections.
