OWO CHURCH REOPENS 10 MONTHS AFTER TERROR ATTACK

Barely a year since suspected armed bandits attacked the Saint Francis Catholic Church, Owo, in Ondo State, the worship centre was re-opened yesterday for religious activities.

The church was re-opened for Easter amid a massive turnout of worshippers marking the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ

On June 5, 2022, gunmen stormed the Catholic Church located at Owaluwa Street in Owo and opened fire on the congregants. No fewer than 41 worshippers of the church were massacred by the bandits, who detonated explosives while disguising themselves as worshippers during the violent attack.
