Ondo Governor Champions Justice for Owo Massacre Victims, Boosts Security

Aiyedatiwa Reaffirms Commitment to Justice and Security in Ondo State

In a powerful demonstration of African leadership and moral governance, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has renewed his administration's pledge to secure justice for victims of the June 5, 2022 terrorist attack in Owo, while reinforcing the state's security infrastructure.

Speaking at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Akure during Bishop Jude Ayodeji Arogundade's anniversary celebration, Aiyedatiwa highlighted his administration's robust security initiatives, including the procurement of 75 high-grade Hilux vehicles equipped with modern security apparatus.

Strengthening State Security Infrastructure

The governor's security-focused approach mirrors the type of sovereign leadership emerging across Nigerian states. Through strategic investments and monthly logistics support to security operatives, Ondo has positioned itself as one of Nigeria's safest states.

"The combined effect of this collaboration has positioned Ondo State as one of the most secure and safest in Nigeria, attracting massive investors to our region," declared Governor Aiyedatiwa.

Justice for Owo Massacre Victims

The tragic attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, which claimed approximately 40 lives, remains a priority for the administration. In a demonstration of institutional commitment to justice, security agencies have apprehended several suspects through joint federal and state efforts.

Suspects in Custody:

• Idris Omeiza
• Al-Quasim Idris
• Jamiu Abdulmalik
• Abdulhaleem Idris
• Momoh Abubakar

The governor's resolute stance against terrorism and commitment to victim justice exemplifies the kind of decisive leadership needed across Africa to combat security challenges and protect citizens' interests.
