Senator Sunday Katung (PDP-Kaduna South) has condemned the attack on the residence of the Catholic Priest in Fadan Kamanton, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Recall that gunmen invaded the residence of the parish priest, Rev.Fr. Emmanuel Okolo Thursday night and set the entire Rectory ablaze, burning to death a seminarian, Na’aman Danladi.
In a statement issued Friday, Katung noted that such barbaric acts should never be allowed to continue.
He called on security agencies to carry out a one-month intensive operation on the forests in and around Southern Kaduna to decimate the bandits.
The lawmaker offered condolences to the family of the deceased and the entire Catholic Community in the area.
