The Sunday massacre of worshippers in Owo has left many Nigerians scared and asking questions. The massacre claimed the lives of at least 50 worshippers.
Many are still bereaved others are hospitalized and in serious pains both emotionally and physically.
While Nigerians ask questions, there has been an account rendered by an eyewitness concerning the inhumane event.
Eye witness’ quotes from FIJ on Ondo Massacre;
“The shooting started from outside the church compound. Then it got louder as they entered the church premises.”
“The men at the main entrance tried to close the doors. They were saying ‘dem done come o’.
“I quickly went over to my mother as the shooting started. We laid stretched on the ground, under the pew,”
“The bullets flew into the church from every direction. It was like a mass shooting with multiple gunmen. People died all around me; I still cannot believe I am alive.”
“No one saw the faces of shooters, so we can not even say who did this for sure. They did not speak a word, the shooters simply shot at us silently. When they were done, they left. They did not abduct anyone.”
Some well meaning Nigerians have answered to the clarion call to help save lives of the victims of the attack by donating blood to the victims.
Some personalities such as Reno Omokri urged people to donate blood to the victims, his appeal produced results.
Many have also donated financially to help the victims get treated, one of such persons who was first to donate is Apostle Johnson Suleman, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other well meaning Nigerians.
Bola Tinubu also visited the victims of the massacre and expressed his condolences to the state and the families.
