According to him, the thieves poisoned the watch man with a toxic substance, and left him lying on the ground unconsciously until 6:30 AM and later he was rushed to Promise Hospital for medications.
Fr. Peter Suleiman urges the Government and the security organ to be vigilant to secure organizations who tirelessly writes developmental projects and humanitarian aids for the country.
“This kind of criminal acts is not good; people will feel unsecured and will be hesitant to write projects to be implemented for the development of the country.” He added.
Fr. Peter Suleiman cautioned the youth to refrain from criminal acts and challenged them to look for developmental projects.
He attributed the theft incidents to poverty, lack of jobs and increasing number of street kids in the country.
The catholic Bishop Secretariat compound underwent several cases of burglary some years back before this latest break-in over the night of 24, May 2022.
