Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu couldn’t withhold his emotion on Friday at the funeral mass for victims of the terror attack at St Francis Catholic Church, Owaluwa, Owo, Ondo State.

He recently had his say at the tearful gathering, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the government clearly failed to defend the victims of the attack, not because they didn’t try, but because these forces on the other side are evil and they have support.

Rotimi added that the fact remains that the evil forces will not continue to triumph over his state

His words, “We have failed to defend these people. Not because we have not tried, but because these forces on the other side are evil and they have support. They will not triumph over us forever.”

“When I see the sea of heads that are here it speaks volumes. What has happened to us in Owo in Ondo state is indescribable. A lot of words are used to qualify it. Dastardly, horrendous. But I still believe there are words to use to describe it but I am still short of those words.”

“We have just 22 (deceased) in this hall. A few of them have been buried. Because the relatives couldn’t wait till today. But as at the last count, these animals came to the church and murdered 40 people.”
