Women in Owo community have gathered to summon the god of iron and war ‘Ogun’ to avenge the worshippers killed in a church in Ogun state.

It would be recalled that June 6 was a black Sunday for Nigerians after gunmen invaded a Catholic church in Owo, Ondo state, and shot sporadically at worshippers.

The State Government claim 22 persons were killed in the horrific attack while 52 survivors who were shot are currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Center, Owo; St Louis Hospital, Owo; and the Owo General Hospital as well as some private hospitals.

However, the Bishop of Ondo Diocese, Jude Arogundade, insisted that over 38 worshippers were killed in the massacre.

Well, some aggrieved women in the community have decided to take matters into their own hands and called on “Ogun” to get justice for the victims.

While other women shouted “Ase” in unison in response to the prayers.
