The Foundation described the unfortunate incident as sacrilegious, irreligious, and roguish.
“This bedlam is condemned in its entirety as there can be no justification for such heinous bloodbath among humans, not to mention this kind of barbarity in a place of worship.
“In this vein, IWF expresses its deepest sympathy with the families of the victims, and the Catholic Church. We also extend our sympathy to the people and government of Ondo State. We join peace-loving people of Nigeria in prayer that this nation shall rise above this dark cloud of violence”.
Meanwhile, IWF has called on the government of Ondo State and security agencies to use all resources within their disposal to flush out the mass murderers responsible for thr bloodletting and make them face the full wrath of the law.
IWF further charged government at all levels and the security agencies to ensure the protection of lives and properties at all corners of the country remain paramount.
