Ajaka who further stated that about seven people were treated on an outpatient basis at St. Louis hospital, added that four victims have been treated and discharged.

According to him, “The total involved as of today is 88. And the breakdown is this; out of the 88, we have confirmed 22 dead.

“So, there were about 7 people treated on an outpatient basis at St. Louis hospital. There are 19 on admission at the same hospital.

“The dastardly act left so many dead and others injured. We have relocated to the Owo since that day and the governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is coordinating us here. We are here to ensure that we track everybody involved.

“Presently, 66 worshippers survived the attack. This morning, a 3-year old child was admitted as a result of the blast.

“The baby was still in shock due to the sound of the explosion.

“We thank the state governor and other stakeholders for their support since the beginning of this incident. This is a very sad situation for us in Ondo State.

“The people of the state responded by donating blood for the victims to save their lives. The Country Representative of World Health Organisation is also on ground to render assistance. (Vanguard)
