“What we have seen in America is a child’s play to what has happened here. That it happened in a church, to say the least, is most condemnable. I feel terribly sad.”

While sending condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the “great massacre,” he called for calm and assured them that security agencies are in “charge”

At the moment, authorities are yet to give out figures about the incident. Twitter@Rotimi Akeredolu.

“I appeal to our people to maintain calm and let the security agencies take charge. They are taking this seriously,” the chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum, pleaded.

“Please, don’t take laws into your hands. The perpetrators will never escape. We are after them. And I can assure you we will get them!”

I was at the scene of the terror attack on innocent worshipers at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, today. I also visited the hospitals where survivors of the attack are receiving medical attention.
