THERE was another twist to the three people arrested in connection to the St Francis Catholic Church Cathedral massacres of over 50 worshippers in Owo, Ondo State last Sunday.
The Police and the Olowo of Owo denied that the three men arrested in the forest have no connection to the crime at the Church.
A social media report said the suspected terrorists were arrested by a joint team of men of the Nigerian Army, Amotekun Corps and other security agencies as well as the local hunters, on Thursday.
The report said the suspects were taken to the Palace of Olowo. It was gathered that when people heard about the news, they started besieging the palace to catch the glimpse of the suspects.
But the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye, denied the report saying no suspect was arrested and taken to the palace. He had told the people that besieged the palace, in Owo dialect, that the attackers would soon be arrested.
Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, the first class monarch said,
“They said some people were arrested in the bush by the security but said they were not sure that the suspects were the ones that carried out the attack.
“The report was not true; people have been trooping to the palace to see them but Olowo has addressed them that no suspect was brought to the palace,” he explained.
A source from Owo told SOJ WORLDWIDE (http://(www.sojworldnews.com) that three suspected criminals were arrested by the military in the bush but the people who saw the suspects in the police van thought they were the attackers and they had been taken to the palace, hence the besieging of the palace by the people.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, said the report was untrue, noting that nobody had been arrested in connection with the attack.
“There is nothing like that. We have called the Police Divisions there, they said there was nothing like that. We have called the Kabiyesi, Olowo of Owo, he said he was not aware of any arrest. So, it is the handiwork of some social media but it is just rumour.”
Who is saying the truth and what was the offences of the three people arrested from the forest as claimed by the residents in Owo on Thursday?

Very sad to read a new twist into the Owo Church massacre. Who do we believe now?
This is ridiculous. Something is not right.
