Ondo provides succour for Owo attack victims, deceased families
Ondo State Government, yesterday, provided succour for the victims of June 5, 2022 attack at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, assuring the public of accountability and transparency.
Chairman of the donation management committee, Mr. Wale Akinterinwa, who led other members of the committee to Owo, said the move was in fulfillment of the promise made by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to give required support to all the victims of the attack.
Akinterinwa, who explained that the committee collated the names and addresses of all the victims, families of the deceased and the injured based on the funds received into the account so far, said that each of the families of the deceased and the injured had been given cash gifts, adding that the disbursement will continue if more funds are received into the account.
He said: “This is another series of support the Ondo State Government is giving to the victims. What we have done on this occasion is to collate all the victims, families of the deceased and the injured based on the funds we have received into the account we opened.
“We felt that it was proper with the approval of the governor to reach out to these families and that is why we are here today. We have given each of the families of the deceased and the injured cash gifts and as we receive more funds into the account, we will continue to disburse.”
