A Priest at the St Francis Catholic Church in Owa-Iuwa Street, Owo, Ondo State, where scores were killed today has reacted to the incident.

The helenmedia had reported the Owo Catholic Church explosion in Governor Akeredolu’s Hometown

Reports had emerged earlier that explosion rocked the worship centre and killed an uncertain number of people while leaving many badly injured.

An eyewitness Kehinde Ogunkorode who spoke with Daily Post earlier revealed that the incident caused chaos in the vicinity. In some reports, it was gathered that the worshippers were shot at by the assailants.

Narrating the horror incident, however, Rev Father Andrew Abayomi, who happens to be one of the Priests in the Church, said the gunmen stormed the church premises when the day’s service was about to end.

“We were about to round off service. I had even asked people to start leaving, that was how we started hearing gunshots from different angles,”
The cleric told BBC Yoruba during an interview.

He added: “We hid inside the church but some people had left when the attack happened. We locked ourselves in the church for 20 minutes. When we heard that they had left, we opened the church and rushed victims to the hospital.”

Meanwhile, the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has reacted to the sad development, describing it as unfortunate and satanic.

Akeredoly said the attack was a calculated assault on the peace-loving people of the Owo Kingdom who have enjoyed relative peace over the years.

The Governor’s statement released via his Twitter handle reads further: “It is a black Sunday in Owo. Our hearts are heavy. Our peace and tranquillity have been attacked by the enemies of the people. This is a personal loss, an attack on our dear state. I have spoken to the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, Most Reverend Jude Arogundade, who is presently on his way to Owo. Similarly, I have had to cut short my party’s national assignment in Abuja and visit Owo immediately.”

“This is an unexpected development. I am shocked, to say the least. Nevertheless, We shall commit every available resource to hunt down these assailants and make them pay. We shall never bow to the machinations of heartless elements in our resolves to rid our state of criminals.

“I commiserate with my people in Owo, particularly families of the those who lost their lives to this ugly and unfortunate attack. I extend my condolences to Olowo of Owo, Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye as well as the Catholic Church.

I urge our people to remain calm and vigilant. Do not take laws into your hands. I have spoken to the heads of the security agencies. I have equally been assured that security operatives would be deployed to monitor and restore normalcy to Owo kingdom,” Akeredolu said.

“You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors so that’s all you know” – Kemi Olunloyo blasts Priscilla Ojo following her viral statement

Spread the love

Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Iyabo Ojo, was severely rebuked by well-known journalist Kemi Olunloyo for declaring that she will never date a man who is less wealthy than her.

The young fashionista recently discussed the value of financial matching in dating relationships in a podcast.
She believes that she cannot date someone who is more financially successful than her since he would have to have the same level of drive to support her.

Her statements, however, caused quite a stir online as several people felt them to be highly provocative.

Kemi Olunloyo bashed her, pointing out that her mother dated pastors and governors when she was growing up, so it’s not all her fault but rather the result of her upbringing.

“No woman is above anyone because of money. You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors, so that’s all you know. Priscilla think outside the box.

Go fix your dru.g problems. A video of you blowing nitrous oxide balloons with the Marlians is about to come out.

Young lady you can’t spike food or drinks with that. Go file charges against Naira Marley. You’re an adult. That’s not your mom’s job. Nothing lasts forever”

He even made plans to visit them and offer them supplies and a deep freezer he had bought for his mother.

The socialite disclosed that he had even bought his father some medication the day before he passed away and was intentionally not answering his calls since he knew he wanted to thank him.

“The gods sabi soldier” — Reactions as Masquerade refuse to touch military man

Spread the love

Online buzz has been sparked by a masquerade that refused to whip a Nigerian military soldier.

Certain masquerades have a well-deserved reputation for whipping bystanders with their whips.

Nevertheless, given its persistent refusal to come into contact with the soldier, this masquerade gives the impression that it respects established authority.

The military man is heard challenging the masquerade to a fight during their conversation, but the masquerade declines, questioning why he should beat his oga.

The masquerade continues by saying that he was part of the group that performed a dance for him the day before.

The soldier laughed at this, telling the masquerade that he would have received a proper lesson if he had whipped him.
