In honour of those who lost their lives during the attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, on Sunday, Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has cancelled this year’s Democracy Day celebration in the state.

The announcement was made in a series of tweets on the governors Twitter handle on Saturday, saying the cancellation was to allow Ondo people mourn the deceased.
