The Governor disclosed this on Tuesday during a statewide broadcast to the people of the state in respect of the last Sunday’s terrorist attack at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owaluwa Street, Owo.
Akeredolu said the attack was an attempt to test the will of the people of the State and indeed, the Southwest.
He added that the dastardly act has the brazenly possible consequence of invitation to national anarchy, saying that “Yorubaland, and Owo in particular, have never been conquered before; and it will never happen.”
