The internet has been buzzing over reports that Bishop Mathew Hassan-Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto was invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) for interrogation.

Be that as it may, the Director of Social Communication in the diocese, Rev Fr Christopher Omotosho has described the report as untrue.

He said; “The news that the bishop was summoned for questioning by the DSS regarding his Christmas message cannot be true, because the bishop has yet to receive either a call or mail from the DSS.”

For those who don’t know, Bishop Kukah had in his Christmas Day sermon said;

“We also have lost count of hundreds of individuals and families who have been kidnapped and live below the radar of publicity.”

“Does the President of Nigeria not owe us an explanation and answers as to when the abductions, kidnappings, brutality, senseless, and endless massacres of our citizens will end? We need urgent answers to these questions.”
