Gov Fintiri lauds DSS for rescuing abducted Catholic Priests, vows tougher security measures
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has praised the Department of State Services (DSS) for successfully rescuing two kidnapped Catholic priests in Numan without paying ransom.
In a statement on Friday, Fintiri commended the DSS Director General and the Adamawa State Command for their swift response, which led to the rescue of Rev. Fathers Matthew David Dusami and Abraham Samman and the arrest of the suspect, Tahamado Jonathan Damien, a church member.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring security and warned that criminals would not be spared, regardless of their status.
“We will not spare anybody found wanting, no matter who you are,” Fintiri stated.
He emphasized the need for intelligence sharing among security agencies, adding that sustained collaboration between the DSS, Police, and Armed Forces would foster peace, attract investors, and drive socio-economic growth in the state.
The priests were abducted in February 2025 from their residence at a convent in Gweda Mallam, Numan Local Government Area.
