The Catholic Bishop of Ondo Diocese, Most Rev. Jude Arogundade, says the Church continues to live with the emotional and psychological scars of the June 5, 2022 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, four years after 41 worshippers were killed and more than 100 others injured.
Speaking in an interview ahead of the fourth anniversary of the massacre, Arogundade said the Diocese is still supporting victims, survivors and families affected by the incident.
“The scar has been with us since then. To this very day, we are still either caring for the children of the deceased, or still nursing the wounds of the wounded, and those who lost dear ones,” he said.
