Troops from Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), tasked with maintaining peace in Plateau, parts of Bauchi, and Kaduna states, have arrested two persons linked to the tragic killing of Seminarian Naman Stephen Ngophe.
Good Evening Nigeria reported that, on September 9, an unidentified group of gunmen set fire to the Catholic Church parish house in Kamanton, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, resulting in the loss of the seminarian’s life.
During a press briefing at OPSH headquarters, Captain Oya James, the operation’s spokesperson, identified the suspects as Ahmed Abdullahi and Hassan Mato.

However, in response to the allegation, Abdullahi said that he knew nothing about the crime.
He said, “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.”
