It was gathered that no fewer than 50 corpses have so far been moved out of the church with many  casualties lying at the Federal Medical Center, Owo, for medical attention.

At the time of filing this report, security operatives were yet to give a detailed statement regarding the development.

However, Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has expressed deep sadness over what he calls an unprovoked attack and killing of innocent people of Owo, worshiping at the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street.

In his reaction to the tragic event, Governor Akeredolu said the vile and satanic attack is a calculated assault on the peace-loving people of Owo Kingdom who have enjoyed relative peace over the years.
