Owo: The attackers did not come to kidnap or kill anybody – Akeredolu

Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has reacted to a recent attack by gunmen at a construction firm in Owo community on Wednesday night. The Governor stated that attack was not done in a bid to kill or kidnap anyone

The attack is coming following the massacre at the catholic church in Owo which left many dead and injured. Akeredolu in his comment urged residents not to panic

He said, “I want to allay the fears of our people. Clearly, what happened here on Wednesday night was not an attempt to kidnap anybody because they went away with nobody. And we have on the premises over 100 people living there.

“Yes, there were sporadic gunshots at the wall but they never went inside to kill anybody. The only two people who had some gunshot wounds were security men who they saw outside the premises.

“So, it is clear to us that their intention was to attack one or two equipment here, which they did. Their explosives affected the tyres and the windscreen of another vehicle.”
