The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has directed all public buildings, facilities, and official residences to fly the Nigerian flag at half-mast for seven days in honour of the victims of the Owo terror attack on Sunday.

This was made known by Richard Olatunde, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor on Monday.

Governor Akeredolu said the attack on innocent worshipers at Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo was a deliberate and calculated assault on the people of the state.
