Ondo Diocese Bishop, Most Rev Bishop Jude Arogundade, has disclosed that all is set for the reopening of the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, which was attacked by gunmen on June 5, 2022.
Recall that 41 persons, including children, were killed and 69 others injured in the terror attack.
The cleric made the disclosure known while speaking at this year’s Chrism mass as part of activities to commemorate Easter celebration.
Arogundade made it known that the church has been locked since the attack over security reasons.
He said: “Since the unfortunate incident that befell our members at the Saint Francis Cathedral in Owo on June 5 2022, the church has been closed down for security reasons and as a mark of respect for our fallen brothers and sisters.
“The church shall be opened again for Easter Sunday. The government of Ondo state is as well planning to commemorate the one year anniversary of the massacre in honour of our fallen heroes.”
