“This is sad, wrong, condemnable, outrageous, unacceptable, and satanic. There is no explanation for this unprovoked attack and assault on a place of worship. This is raw persecution. These people are possessed, and demonic and are not working for the good of the country. May God descend heavily on them and fight them mindless agents of Satan from their roots in Jesus’ name,” CAN said.

As a result, it demanded a complete revamp of the security infrastructure, as well as an end to the recycling of criminals and terrorists in the name of a de-radicalization program from President Muhammadu Buhari.

”If the programme is not counterproductive, how come the criminalities are always on the increase and nowhere is safe again?” it asked.

CAN also expressed its condolences to the victims’ families, the Catholic Church, the government, and the people of Ondo State.
