Pope Francis’ reaction to the brutal killing of Christians in Saint Francis church Owo, Ondo State, has once again aroused the anger of Nigerians.
The cleric, via his official, verified Twitter, expressed sadness over the horrific attack that left many orphaned, fatherless or motherless and some without any family.
Pope condoled with the bereaved’s family and urged everyone to pray together for the conversion of ‘those blinded by hatred and violence’.
He tweeted: I was deeply saddened to learn of the horrific attack at Saint Francis church in Owo in #Nigeria. #PrayTogether for all those affected by this act of unspeakable violence and for the conversion of those blinded by hatred and violence.
Mixed reactions have been trailing this development as Nigerians refused to acknowledge the Pope’s thoughts on prayers for the country and those perpetrating the evil attacks.
Many believed the Pope’s thoughts on the conversion of ‘those blinded by hatred and violence is a waste of time, and the recent happenings are a result of the bad governance in the country.
Many called for actions to be taken, while some opted for revenge and separation.
