Priest Shot By Herdsmen In Taraba Was Among Catholics That Had A Peaceful Protest Last Week

Deji Adeyanju has made a tweet today claiming  that a Catholic priest who was shot today by Herdsmen during an attack on a seminary in Taraba was among those who took part in the peaceful protest last week calling on President Buhari to act or resign over incessant killings perpetrated by the herdsmen.

See Deji Adeyanju's tweet below:

”The priests just shot in Taraba by Herdsmen were the clergymen that led the last Wednesday Catholic protest calling on president Buhari to act or resign.”

According to media reports earlier today that men suspected to be herdsmen have this morning attacked a seminary in Jalingo, Tarara state,  the attack left many of the students injured while a Catholic priest was shot on the leg. Cars parked in the seminar were destroyed during the attack.

The recent development was disclosed via a WhatsApp message by the Director of Caritas Nigeria, an agency of the Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Evaristus Bassey.

Father Bassey wrote:

“Please Frs, pray for us. Our minor seminary in Jalingo has just been attacked by the Fulani, some students are injured, some cars destroyed, two priests beaten and one shot on the leg. They are currently receiving treatment at FMC.”
