Delivering judgment, Justice Emeka Nwite found the convicts guilty on terrorism-related charges brought by the Department of State Services. The four were among five suspects standing trial over the attack, which left more than 40 worshippers dead and over 100 others injured.
Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has welcomed the conviction and sentencing of the suspects, describing the verdict as a major victory for justice and the rule of law.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, the governor commended the judiciary, security agencies, investigators and prosecutors for their efforts in securing the judgment.
He also praised the resilience of the people of Owo and members of the Catholic community for remaining peaceful and united despite the trauma caused by the attack.
