Consider declaring kidnappers as a terrorist group
In another development, Legit.ng reported that Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, lambasted Nigerian leaders over the growing insecurity in the country, saying they have no blood in their hearts.
Bishop Kukah said this in his homily at the burial of late Rev Fr. Alphonsus Yasshim Bello at Our Lady of Apostles Catholic Church, Independence Way, Kaduna.
Legit.ng gathers Fr. Bello was kidnapped and murdered by suspected bandits on Friday, May 21, in Katsina. He was kidnapped alongside Rev Fr Joseph Keke.
The clergyman wondered why the Nigerian government has not considered declaring kidnappers as a terrorist group.
