Almost two months after about 40 worshippers were gunned down at a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, the community has come under a fresh attack.

Though details of the attack were sketchy but the Police said the incident occurred last night at Craneburg Construction Company, Owo.

The gunmen were said to have opened fire on everyone on sight and also set off explosive devices.

The incident was confirmed by the Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Funmilayo Odunlami, who stated that some persons who were injured in the attack have been taken to hospital and are in stable condition.

“I have just left the scene and I realized that the two security men were injured as the attackers shot into the air. They damaged the windshields of two earthmovers of the construction company. The injured men have been taken to a hospital,’’ he stated.

Amid reports of threats by terrorists to attack some major cities in the country, the House of Reps has adjourned till September 20th to observe its annual long holiday.

The lawmakers adjourned the House on Wednesday after the plenary.

It would be recalled that the Federal Capital Territory has witnessed a hike in attacks as terrorists attacked Kuje Prison, setting criminals and terrorists free.

Also, the government announced the shutdown of federal government colleges in the FCT.

Speaking after the announcement of the adjournment, the Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu urged his colleagues to stay away from Abuja and go back to their constituencies, saying the FCT is no longer safe.

“I want to beg members, Abuja is no longer safe, please, if possible, go back to your constituency. The place is so insecure,” he said.

The Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase cautioned his colleague from making such a comment, noting that it could discourage investors from coming to Nigeria.

“I believe the minority leader, maybe was putting some jokes but I do not believe that it was a joke on the security in the lives and property of the people and by the grace of God Abuja is going to be secured.

“I do not think we should scare investors who are coming into the country, I do not believe that we should scare people who could come to add value to us,” he said.

The Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, however cautioned his colleague from making such a comment, noting that it could discourage investors from coming to Nigeria.
