Olowo of Owo, Oba Ogunoye

The Olowo Owo Kingdom, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye, speaks with PETER DADA about last Sunday’s attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, where many worshippers were massacred by suspected terrorists

How do you feel that the age-long peace in Owo was suddenly disrupted by some hoodlums who attacked the Catholic Church in your community last Sunday?

Well, I’m not happy; I’m very sad about the incident. I am also telling you that the whole of Owo kingdom is in mourning at the moment. This is a thing that we never expected, and never experienced before, though we are not oblivious of the fact that Nigeria, as a nation, has been experiencing this type of sad incidents and we have been very apprehensive and praying that it wouldn’t get to our end. But behold, we are experiencing it. It’s quite unfortunate.

It happened right at the backyard of the palace. Were you in the palace at the time of the attack?

I was in the palace.

Did you hear the sporadic gunshots?

I heard everything.
