Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has said the admittance of the deadly terrorist group, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) that it was responsible for the deadly attack at Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, on Sunday was too hasty.
The governor revealed this during a meeting with the Christian Solidarity International (CSI), a Swiss-based Christian human rights organization.
The National Security Council had on Thursday stated that ISWAP was behind the Owo attack.

Akeredolu, who described the attack as a crime against humanity, emphasized that the Southwest region had been a peaceful region before the tragic incident.
“The statement is too hasty. I take their conclusion with a pinch of salt. ISWAP don’t hide their attacks. If they have done it, they would have owned up.
“We are yet to know their identity and our security people are still on their trail.”
