Ten months after a terror attack that killed at least 40 worshippers, St Francis Catholic Cathedral, Owo in Ondo State will reopen temorarily on Sunday for the Easter service.“Since the unfortunate incident that befell our members at the Saint Francis Cathedral in Owo on June 5 2022, the church has been closed down for security reasons and as a mark of respect for our fallen brothers and sisters.
Many of the injured victims were taken to the Federal Medical Centre and St. Louis Hospital, both in Owo for treatment.Mrs Ezibo, whose daughter was a victim of the attack, told our reporter that about five survivors are scheduled to undergo another round of surgery. “It is not the government that is sponsoring them, it is the Catholic Diocese of Ondo State that is sponsoring them,” she added.
“We are not opening finally because we are still building something there again concerning the event. It is just that the church wants to bless the place so that they will start mass there. It is not officially opening but we want to be having masses there. That is why the Bishop is coming to bless the place so that we will be able to start,” he said.
