Following the barbaric attack on the St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo, an Islamic group under the auspices of Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has warned that there is the presence of Boko Haram in the South West.
The warning was contained in a statement signed by MURIC Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola on Sunday.
The group believes that the barbaric attack, which left many worshippers dead, was carried out by Boko Haram and warned strongly that more Churches and mosques may come under such attack.

MURIC strongly condemned the terrorist attack, calling on the government to act decisively and arrest the attackers.
Quest Times earlier reported the attackers killed dozens of worshippers during Sunday service.
Reacting, MURIC said they (the perpetrators) should be arrested immediately.
“We strongly condemn this act of unprovoked aggression. It is inhuman, heinous, horrific, and horrendous.
“We call for immediate arrest and prosecution of the attackers,” the MURIC director said.
The Muslim rights advocacy group called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usban Alkali Baba and the Ondo Police Command to find the killers without delay, insisting that the killers must have a hideout.
