The Ondo State Government lays to earth the bodies of 40 worshippers of the Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church killed two Sundays ago by gunmen.
The Ondo Catholic Diocese’s Director of Social Communication, Rev. Fr. Augustine Ikwu, told reporters on Monday that the mass burial of the victims had been slated for the new cemetery provided on Emure Road in the ancient town in South-West Nigeria.
According to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, the new graveyard will remain a monument of the coldblooded killing.
40 people died immediately and others continue to battle various injuries at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, as well as a couple of private hospitals in the town.
