Owo terror attack: Ohanaeze begins preparations for burial of Igbos Killed in the Church
The Ohaneze Ndigbo in Owo local government area has begun preparations for the purpose of taking corpses of its members who were killed in last Sunday’s terror to the Southeast for burial.
Four gunmen stormed the St Francis Catholic Church and killed many people while over 50 are receiving treatment for gunshot injuries.
The gunmen also threw dynamites into the church out of which two exploded inside the church.
Chairman of Ohaneze in Owo local government, Anayo Okorie, said they have commenced meetings to discuss on how to convey the bodies to their various states of the Southeast region.
“We are here to discuss the way forward for those that died. We cannot give you the actual figures of the Igbos that died because they were many.
Mr. Udo Blessing said the meetings would soon reach a conclusion on burial arrangements for the Igbos.
Business activities were still paralysed in parts of Owo community especially at the Owaluwa Street where the church is located.
A resident in the street Eugene said the shops were still closed because of the number of victims.
“Many of the shop owners are mourning ot taking care of love ones at the hospital. I was at home when the attack occured. I just hide myself somewhere.”
