Owo church attack: Convicts would've escaped death sentence under Buhari — Ndi Kato

Political analyst and former member of Peter Obi's presidential campaign council, Ndi Kato, has reacted to the death sentence handed down to four persons convicted for the June 5, 2022 attack on Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State. Kato suggested that the convicts would have received a lighter punishment if former late President Muhammadu Buhari were still in office. Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced four defendants to death by hanging for terrorism, kidnapping, and killing worshippers. A fifth defendant, Momoh Otuho Abubakar, was discharged and acquitted.
