Reacting to the arrest via its verified Facebook page in a short message with the hashtag ‘#June5 #wewillneverforget’, the diocese said, “the apprehending of those responsible for the attack at our St. Francis Church in Owo is welcome news; however, we feel strongly that the criminals that carried out this horrific attack, as well as those that supported their evil efforts, must now be prosecuted to the full extent of the law”.
