EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed “Amotekun Corps” has confirmed the arrest of some suspects in connection with the Owo Catholic church massacre, recovering some weapons and a vehicle.

According to a local media house, Crest 106.1FM, Akure, Ondo State, shared this update via its official Facebook page on Thursday morning.

Confirming the arrests, the state Commander of Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, said the Amotekun Corps” has apprehended some suspects in connection with the terrorist attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo.

He, however, did not give the actual number of the suspects arrested but expressed assurance that all the attackers of the worship centre would be apprehended

It would be recalled that the terrorist had invaded the church on June 5, killing no fewer than 40 people and injuring many other worshippers.

Four days after the attack, Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola, blamed it on the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP).

The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, meanwhile expressed his disagreement with the Federal Government, saying it is too early to blame the terror attack on ISWAP.
