Naam Ngofe Danladi who was about to complete his training in the Catholic Priesthood.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. John Joseph Hayab; Chairman Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)Kaduna State Chapter, in a statement on Saturday, stated that \u201cour hearts are filled with pains at the wake of today 8 September 2023 with the news\u2026..against our People at Fadan Kamatan Parish of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Zangon Kataf LGA of Kaduna State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cIt is no longer news that armed men invaded a Catholic Church Parish Headquarters located at Fadan Kamantan community and the criminals targeted the Parish Priest\u2019s residence, the Parish Priest, Very, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Okolo who also doubles as the Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, and his assistant were able to escape out of the house before the criminals set the entire Rectory ablaze burning to death a Seminarian Bro. Naam Ngofe Danladi who is just about completing his training into the Catholic Priesthood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is disheartening about this particular attack is the fact that the place of attack is just by the Kaduna \u2013 Kafanchan Major highway with a military checkpoint not far from the Parish. The Parish is located at the heart of Kamantan town and the attack was carried out at about 8:00 pm. This causes us to wonder some more, Where is the hope, how much more terrible could the situation get?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate the willingness of the present administration to proffer practical, real and lasting solutions to the security challenge in Kaduna State as made visible by the ongoing recruitment process of over 7,000 men and women into the Kaduna State Vigilante Services (KADVIS).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the light of sharing in the faith of the perceived goodwill of the present administration in Kaduna State, we invite the Governor of Kaduna State and all relevant stakeholders to immediately swing into action and ensure that those responsible for the Kamatan Evil Night are apprehended and made to face the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecurity is everyone\u2019s business, it is disappointing that this kind of unholy activity could be recorded at the heart of the Fadan Kamantan community and the criminals will operate unchallenged. It is a slap to the security forces within that jurisdiction, it is a slap to the religious leaders, traditional and community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe position of CAN Kaduna State Chapter has always been that we as citizens must complement government in her primary responsibility of saving our lives and properties by proactively building a community security system that prevents any form of invading force into our community, sadly we are still here. We reiterate again here, that leaders at all levels in southern Kaduna and Kaduna State must wake up to this call and be responsible for the protection of the communities where the live and lead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot continue like this, no it is unacceptable and we all must wake up to our responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Executive of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN Kaduna State Chapter and indeed all christians in Kaduna State sincerely sympathize with the chief shepherd and local ordinary of Kafanchan Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Julius Kundi, the Parish Priest and Parishioners of Kamatan Parish, the Kurama Community of Bro. Naam Ngofe Danladi, the leaders and the good people of Zangon Kataf LGA and Fadan Kamantan community over this unfortunate incident, we pray that the good Lord will heal our land and bring this menace to an end,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bandits in Kaduna State have set an entire Rectory ablaze burning to death a Seminarian, Bro.
