Attackers of St Francis Catholic Church Owo meet waterloo

Nemesis has finally caught up with those behind the attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owaluwa Street, Owo, during church service in June.

This is just as the Chief of Defence Staff, Lucky Irabor, on Tuesday said those behind the attack have been arrested.

Irabor made the revelation during a meeting with editors and media executives in Abuja.

According to him, the suspects would be paraded after an investigation has been concluded into the matter.

Irabor said, “We have arrested those behind the dastardly act in Owo.

“It was my intention to present them to the public, but because of the investigation still going on, I had to change my mind.”

The Owo attack, which happened  on June 5, 2002, left scores of worshipers dead and many others injured.
