The killing of worshippers at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state, on Sunday, June 5, 2022, has sparked an outrage among Nigerians calling on the government to take decisive action to end senseless killings across the country.
The Owo Massacre is the latest in a series of acts of terrorism and gruesome killings in southwest Nigeria, adjudged the most peaceful geopolitical zone in Nigeria.
It is also coming exactly a year after assailants suspected to be herders stormed Igangan community in Ibarapa North local government area of Oyo State, overnight on June 5, 2021, killing many people. A month after the attack, gunmen invaded the community again in July 2021, killing four people.
Although the number of casualties from the Owo Massacre could not be ascertained yet, celebrities are speaking up to condemn the attack and demand better security across Nigeria.

“My heart goes out to the relatives and friends of victims of the gruesome killings in Owo, Ondo State today. This is a crime against humanity, which shouldn’t be tolerated in any civil society.

Simi
Simi, who’s from Owo, described the killing as senseless.
“The images are hunting. Especially the babies. Mothers and fathers people will never see again. It’s just so unimaginably wicked,” she tweeted.
“I keep typing and deleting the things I’m feeling, because who cares how I’m feeling when people actually lost their loved ones. Their parents. Their children. Slight panic attack.”
