Two more prosecution witnesses on Tuesday gave vivid and harrowing accounts of the June 5, 2022 terror attack on St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, as the Federal High Court in Abuja admitted additional exhibits from the Department of State Services. The DSS is prosecuting five suspects — Idris Omeiza (25), Al Qasim Idris (20), Jamiu Abdulmalik (26), Abdulhaleem Idris (25), and Momoh Otuho Abubakar (47) — on amended nine counts, bordering on terrorism. All the defendants have pleaded not guilty. The June 2022 attack occurred during a Sunday Mass marking the Feast of Pentecost. Gunmen stormed the church, locking the main entrance before opening fire on worshippers and detonating explosives. The coordinated assault claimed at least 41 lives and left over 100 injured, leaving a deep scar on the Owo community.

Under cross-examination by DSS counsel Adedayo Adedipe (SAN), the witness said the gunmen forced their way into the church through a secondary entrance after worshippers tried to secure the main door. “In a matter of seconds, I saw one man holding a gun. He looked at the church, then beckoned to someone behind him,” SSB told the court. Initially, he identified the fifth defendant, Momoh Abubakar, but later corrected himself to point out the second defendant, Al Qasim Idris, after the defendant removed his face mask and moved closer.
