Suspected Killers Of Kaduna Seminarian Arrested

Two persons suspected to be involved in the killing of a Seminarian, Naman Stephen Ngophe, in Kaduna State, have been apprehended.

Recall that some gunmen suspected of being terrorists attacked the Catholic Church parish house in Kamanton, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on September 9, and set the same ablaze.

It was during the attack that the seminarian was killed.

Reports, however, obtained by Naija News on Monday morning revealed that Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), a security taskforce maintaining peace in Plateau, and some parts of Bauchi and Kaduna states, have arrested two persons over the alleged killing of the Kaduna Seminarian.

Parading the suspects at the headquarters of the OPSH, the spokesperson of the operation, Captain Oya James, gave the names of the suspects as Ahmed Abdullahi and Hassan Mato.

Abdullahi, however, is said to have denied the allegation, saying that he knew nothing about the crime.

“I was at home when security personnel came and arrested me. I was brought here and punished severely without committing any offence. I am from a royal house and I can’t commit this kind of crime. I was not told what I did until now,” Daily Trust quoted the suspect saying.
