SGF visits family of Pastor whose sons were gunned down

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has visited the Kwarhi, Mararabar Mubi of Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State to commiserate with the family of the EYN Pastor, Rev Daniel Umaru, whose sons were killed by gunmen.

On July 6, 2022, Umaru’s two sons were shot dead and his teenage daughter was abducted but released after a “huge ransom” was paid.
