The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Ondo Central Senatorial District, Adeniyi Adegbonmire, has condoled with the victims and families of those killed in the gruesome attack on the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, during worship last Sunday, by unknown gunmen.
In a statement, which he signed, he expressed deep shock over the incident.
He said: “It is with deep sorrow that I write to express my condolences to His Excellency, the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN; the people of Ondo State, particularly the people of Owo; the Christian family, particularly the Catholic Church; all parishioners of St Francis Catholic Church, Owo; and all those who lost loved ones during the terrorist attack that took place Sunday 5th day of June, 2022.
“I have been greatly disturbed since I heard the news of the unfortunate attack .
“This attack, which is extremely sad and worrisome, and which happened on Pentecost Sunday, an extremely important day in Christianity, as it signifies the birth of Christianity and the importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of all Christians, is extremely concerning.
“I must state that no day is appropriate or appointed for such a dastardly act of pure terrorism.”
Adegbonmire stressed that he has no doubt that the perpetrators of the dastardly act will be apprehended and brought to book.
He commended the Akeredolu for his swiftness in responding to the attack.
The incoming senator however condemned in the strongest terms the act of terrorism in the country and prayed that such act will soon become a thing of the past.
