Owo massacre: Boko Haram is in South West, more churches, mosques next targets – MURIC

The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has warned that there is the presence of Boko Haram in the South West.

The group believes that the barbaric attack on the St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, that left many worshippers dead, was carried out by Boko Haram and warned strongly that more Churches and mosques may come under such attack

The Muslim rights advocacy group condemned the act and called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usban Alkali Baba and the Ondo Police Command to find the killers without delay, insisting that the killers must have a hideout.

“We strongly condemn this act of unprovoked aggression. It is inhuman, heinous, horrific and horrendous.

“We call for immediate arrest and prosecution of the attackers.”

“This latest attack is indubitable evidence of the existence of Boko Haram in the South West after their penetration into Niger and Kogi states.

“Going by Boko Haram modus operandi, we warn that mosques and more churches may be the next targets because this was how they started in the North. We, therefore, ask for protection for all churches and mosques in the region,” it said.
