Nine months after terrorists attacked a Catholic church in Owo, the Ondo State capital, the governor of the state, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, has begun the construction of a memorial park in honour of the victims of the attack.
41 people lost their lives while many sustained various degrees of injuries in the deadly attack at St Francis Catholic Church. However, ‘Nigeria as they say has happened to the incident’ as no arrests have been made after the incident. Speaking during an inspection visit to the construction site on Saturday, the governor said the memorial park would be a beauty to behold when completed.
He said his administration was determined not to forget the souls that have departed as a result of the incident, noting that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who had visited Owo to commiserate with the state and the people after the incident, would be invited to inaugurate the project when completed.
Aminu added that apart from that, government also has intension of siting so many things like museum and other things around this area. So, this is going to be a centre of attraction after completion, and it will beautify the city, and at the same time, those people who lost their lives will be remembered for life. All things being equal, by God’s grace, this project will be completed before the end of May 2023, Aminu assured.
