FORMER President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, on Thursday,
raised alarm over the spate of killings, kidnappings and gang-related
activities in parts of Benue State. Mark lamented that the sad and
unfortunate incidents had claimed scores of lives and properties in
recent times.
Reacting to the death of a Catholic Priest, Reverend Father
John Adeyi at the hands of kidnappers who abducted him for the past 60
days, Senator Mark said the upsurge in criminal activities had reached
an intolerable level. In a statement by his Media Assistant, Paul Mumeh,
Senator Mark wondered what a harmless Catholic Priest would do to
deserve the kind of dehumanization and eventual murder by the
kidnappers. The former Senate President urged the Catholic Community,
especially the bereaved family to take solace in the fact that Adeyi was
a true servant of God who gave his all to win souls for Christ. Mark
noted that even as he mourned the death of Adeyi, news filtered into
town that another of his constituents and a Catholic Priest with Kano
Catholic Diocese, Reverend Father Julius Inalegwu was abducted in the
early hours of yesterday in Kano State. Senator Mark implored the
Inspector General of Police and other security operatives to do all that
was needed to bring the perpetrators to justice forthwith.
