Friday has been fixed by the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, for the mass burial of the victims killed in the terror attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State.
At least forty people were killed by the terrorists in the attack while many others sustained varying degrees of injuries on June 5.
The injured victims were said to be receiving treatment at Federal Medical Centre and the St. Louis Catholic Church both in Owo and some other private hospitals within the state.
The police said no arrest has been made in connection with the attack but said detectives from the command have been on the trail of the suspected terrorists.
However, the Director of Social Communication of the Diocese of Ondo, Rev. Fr. Augustine Ikwu, who confirmed the development said the mass burial would take place at a new cemetery at Emure Road, Owo.
“The mass burial would take place at the new cemetery of the church on Friday in Owo,” he noted.
