The government of Ondo state has canceled this year’s June 12, celebration.
The celebration is an annual democracy day event in Nigeria.
Richard Olatunde, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu provided the reason for the cancellation in a statement that reads..
The Ondo State Government has canceled this year’s June 12 celebration earlier slated for Sunday 12th June 2022.
This is consequent upon the terror attack on innocent worshipers at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, on Sunday 5th June, 2022.
The cancelation is to enable the entire people of Ondo State mourn their loved ones who lost their lives in the horrific attack.
Recall that the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu,SAN, had directed that all flags in the state be flown at half -mast for seven days in honour of the victims of the terror attack.
