Contrary to the rumour making the rounds on social media, the terrorists who attacked St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State last Sunday are yet to be found.
Some people have been circulating information to the effect that the perpetrators of the dastardly act had been found and arrested.
The Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo apparently fell for the hoax as he announced during the church’s Covenant Hour of Prayer (CHoP) on Saturday that the Owo attackers had been arrested less than the seven days he prophesied.
However, the Ondo State Police Command debunked the claim.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, said the report was untrue, noting that nobody had been arrested in connection with the attack.
She said, “There is nothing like that. We have called the police divisions there, they said there was nothing like that. We have called the Kabiyesi, Olowo of Owo, he said he was not aware of any arrest. So, it is the handiwork of some social media but it is just rumour.”
