An April 9, 2023, St Francis Xavier Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State, was reopened. This is 10 months from June 5, 2022, when a bomb attack and mass shooting took place during a service in the church; in which 41 persons lost their lives and several others sustained varying injuries. Up till now there are no suspects regarding those who carried out the dastardly act. Such attacks have been going on in the country in recent times. To worsen matters, the government only mourns and condemns attacks, afterwards nothing happens. How does one imagine the mindless killings and no one cares?
Before last Easter, there were cases of bloody attacks in Benue State. The attacks in Benue State are too many. In the past, the state government despaired and lost every confidence in the Federal Government’s inability to help it to tackle the episodes.
