Prior to the attack, Owo, an ancient town in Yoruba land, was its tranquil self with the residents going about their normal businesses on a daily basis. Since the attackers left, residents of Owo have been in pains, sorrow and fear. The governor added: “The site, that is, St. Francis Catholic Church, Owaluwa, Owo, presents a gory war-like scene. The Federal Medical Centre, Owo; the St. Louis Hospital, Owo; the General Hospital, Owo as well as some private hospitals in Owo were filled with the injured, most of who were in critical conditions. The Guardian, however, gathered that the assailants escaped through Ute Road in Owo, though not without a hot chase by local hunters.
