Two people suspected of being involved in the unfortunate death of seminarian Naman Stephen Ngophe have been captured by Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) personnel, which is a significant development.
On September 9, 2023, suspected bandits carried out a violent attack on the Catholic Church parish house in Kamanton, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing Ngophe.
The spokesperson for the OPSH operation, Captain Oya James, announced the arrests and identified the suspects as Ahmed Abdullahi and Hassan Mato. While parading the detainees at the OPSH headquarters, Captain James revealed that once the investigation is concluded, the suspects would be handed over to the police for further legal proceedings.
It’s worth noting that Ahmed Abdullahi, one of the arrested individuals, vehemently denied any involvement in the crime. He claimed to have been at home when security personnel apprehended him and asserted that he was unaware of the alleged offense.
Abdullahi, in his defense, stated, “I was brought here and punished severely without committing any offense. I am from a royal house, and I can’t commit this kind of crime. I was not told what I did until now.”
