The Federal Government has revealed the identity of those responsible for the deadly attack which claimed lives at St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State.
According to Government the attack is linked to the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP).
The gunmen who invaded the church at the tail end of the Sunday Mass, killed many worshippers and left others with gunshot injuries.
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, briefed State House Correspondents at the end of the National Security Council Meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister alongside Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Baba Usman said the police has been ordered to go after the perpetrators of the act and bring them to justice.
According to him, the imprint of ISWAP has been found on the scene of the attack, vowing that they will be brought to Justice.
Ogbeni Aregbesola explained that ISWAP’s aim is to pit Nigerians against each other by this attack and make it appear as ethno-religious war.
