The state governor gave the directives in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, on Monday in Akure.

”In honour of the victims of this unfortunate attack, I, hereby, direct that all flags be flown at half-mast for seven days, starting from Monday, to June 12.

”It is a collective loss to the people of our dear state.

”The attack on innocent worshipers at the St Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo, is a deliberate and calculated assault on the people of the state.

”Those who unleashed this unprovoked terror attack on our people have tested our collective resolves.

”We will not be deterred in responding appropriately to this dastardly act.” Akeredolu said in a statement.
