May their gentle souls continue to rest.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Buhari o ni kuure !

Over 40 killed, with about 70 sustaining varying degrees of injuries.

21 corpses were brought to the church as others were still @ the FMC, Owo and will be ferried directly to the burial site on confirmation from the families.

Victims (from the programme of events):

May God Almighty receive the peaceful souls of these saints in His merciful throne.

May their soul rest in the perfect hands of the almighty
. they committed no crime but where killed for
just being Nigerians....
But we promise to revenge your deaths with our votes....
This is a promise to the future generations
We will change the game come 2023

Most of those names are Igbo. So it’s true that most of the victims killed in the attack were igbos. Well, I’m not playing the tribal card here, but can we all see the perpetrators were not even arrested or heard off again ??. Infact everyone has moved on like nothing happened. It’s really shameful and pathetic.

The mass burial will follow immediately at the New Catholic Cemetery, Otapete in Owo.

Governor Odunayo Akeredolu and wife, Betty in church

Akeredolu its he failed to protect them.....Bishop Arogundade (Catholic Bishop of Ondo) says NO. Those who did it were cowards who throw stones and run into the bush.

Olusegun Mimiko is also present.

A memorial park in honour of the victims will be designated in Owo - Akeredolu

Nigeria finally happened to them, may their souls rest in peace. Buhari remains the worst thing that happened to this shithole after amalgamation.

This is so heartbreaking, may their souls rest in peace

Their blood will be on Buhari the evil clueless dullard and Tinubu, who foisted the evil dullard on Nigerians.

Nigeria has never had it this bad.

Ehya

Rip omoluabis. We promise you all a Peter Obi and a better Nigeria

Sad and disheartening stuff...
May they rest in peace and their killers end up in pieces...

Sorrowful!! Nigeria is a sitting time-bomb! May God help us

After today, it ends.

It has happened before in Benue and Plateau

No justice. Just tears and silence

May their souls rest in peace

It's really sad they are gone... The victims are Yorubas and Igbos..... I was one of the person that was against voting the Buhari regime sadly a lot of people believed in him even the Father Mbaka.... Weeks after their death, not even the Father Mbaka can use his vision to avert this menace or even see the people responsible for this atrocities....


Another election is fast approaching and same father Mbaka that introduced the menace we have today is at it again....


My condolences to those affected and my SW brothers... But I need you to understand that these people and their cohorts that the Fulani herdsmen... These people that were ing open grazing... These people that will rather ask you, "Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?", instead of fighting them like Igbgho are the real enemies....

They will never state police...

They can pay £££ for the delegates to pick them but they don't care about you.....


You only have one vote... Vote wisely....

Say no to open grazing... Say no to herdsmen that carry AK....

God bless Oduduwa republic, God bless Biafra... God bless Nigeria

May their souls rest in peace....

Only God knows what this present istration have done to innocent citizens, no peace , no progress, no justice, no employment, no education ��...

sad...one of the lowest point of this country

Went to church and didn't come back

May their souls rest in peace

Afflictions shall never rise again.

It's on TV now

Sad

People that had plans for that Sunday afternoon and evening wasted for nothing.

Death to all herdsmen and bandits.

May your souls Rest In Peace.

Even kids were caught up in evil they knew nothing about.

Forsaken by both their Government and the God they serve... RIP

Buhari...

RIP TO THE DEAD.

This is really really unacceptable. How can this be happening for God sake. The people who orchestrated this act will not know peace.
I wonder why the government are not addressing this issue.
The country is supposed to be in serious search for the people that committed these murders

Vd
