A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor, Richard Olatunde, says the cancelation is to enable the entire people of Ondo State mourn their loved ones who lost their lives in the horrific attack.
Recall that the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, had directed that all flags in the state be flown at half-mast for a period of seven days in honour of the victims of the terror attack.
