 OWO CHURCH ATTACK: COURT RESERVES JUDGMENT


A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has reserved judgment in the trial of five men accused of masterminding the June 5, 2022 terrorist attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State.


This followed the conclusion of final arguments by the prosecution and defence, with Justice Emeka Nwite fixing judgment for a date to be communicated to parties. 


He said that notices would be issued once the court is ready within 24 hours.

The trial, widely seen as a major test of Nigeria’s resolve against terrorism and mass violence, is being prosecuted by the Department of State Services (DSS).


Concluding after adopting its written address, the DSS counsel, Ayodeji Adedipe (SAN), urged the court to impose the maximum penalty prescribed by law.

Lead prosecuting counsel, Ayodeji 

Adedipe (SAN), urged the court to convict the defendants and sentence them to death, stressing that the gravity and brutality of the attack demanded nothing less than the full weight of the law.


Counsel to the defendants, Abdullahi Mohammad, however, urged the court to discharge and acquit his clients, claiming that the prosecution failed to sufficiently prove its case.
