Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) reportedly arrested two persons over the killing of a seminarian, Naman Stephen Ngophe.
Pmnews.ng recalls that Ngophe was killed on September 9, 2023, by suspected bandits who attacked and burnt the Catholic Church parish house in Kamanton, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The spokesperson of the OPSH operation, Captain Oya James, who paraded the suspects at the OPSH headquarters, gave their names as Ahmed Abdullahi and Hassan Mato.
He said the suspects would be handed over to the police as soon as an investigation is completed.
However, Abdullahi denied the allegation, adding that he was unaware of 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.” he said
