The National Security Council says the Islamic State, West African Province (ISWAP) is responsible for the attack on Worshippers at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, that led to the death of 40 people, leaving many others injured
Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola revealed this to journalists at the state House after attending the National security council meeting held at the council chambers of the presidential villa in Abuja.
The minister says the attack has no ethnic-religious connection as he insists the group’s activity has nothing to do with religion.
The national security council is also concerned about killings in the name of blasphemy and has directed the security agencies to go after perpetrators of both incidents that occurred in Sokoto State and Abuja recently.
The Inspector General of Police Alkali Baba Usman also announced the readiness of the police in securing the June 18 Ekiti Governorship election, he also said additional 10,000 police officers will graduate next month and will be added to the security architecture immediately.
Many Nigerians had condemned the attack and subsequent massacre of innocent worshippers at the Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo on Sunday.
This attribution of responsibility by the National Security Council to ISWAP is a major setback for the nations’ security and one that will have security agencies on their toes.
Owo is located in Ondo State a prt of the Southwest which had remained relatively paceful since the increasing level of killings, attacks and abduction started spreading to Other states outside of the initially affected States of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.
Despite the Federal Government attribution of responsibility, ISWAP, has not claimed resposibility for the attack.
