*Agrees With Statement Issued By Egbe Amofin O’odua
*Charges Governments At All Levels To Exercise Great Vigilance Than Ever

A Former National Welfare Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, Adesina Adegbite (AA) has commiserated with victims and bereaved families from the bloody attack of St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State on Sunday, 5th of June, 2022.

In a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, AA expressed great shock and disbelief at the horrific attack and murder of worshippers.

According to him, for such dastardly act to happen confirms that wickedness and barbarism have become the order of the day in Nigeria.

“That such a dastardly act could happen at all is a confirmation that wickedness and barbarism have become the order of day in our country; and that it happened in the ancient and peaceful Owo Town, the hometown of the Governor of Ondo State is indeed a signal that anywhere in the South West is susceptible to being a target of this heinous criminality.”

He expressed his condolences to the victims of the tragic incident.

“It is with a seriously traumatized heart that I commiserate with the families of the victims, the Catholic Church of Nigeria, the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN and the grieving people of Ondo State, the South West and Nigeria in general over this unimaginable tragedy.”

Furthermore, AA endorsed the statement of the Egbe Amofin O’odua on the matter where they urged the Federal government to thoroughly investigate the incident.

He equally called for great vigilance while charging the Security Agencies to fish out the perpetrators.

“I’m in agreement with an earlier statement issued by the leadership of Egbe Amofin Oodua urging the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Government of Ondo State and Security Services to ensure that the perpetrators of the dastardly act are urgently apprehended and made to face the wrath of the Law.

However, the Government at all levels and all security agencies must now be very vigilant more than ever and take the protection of lives and properties of the citizens more seriously.”
