The Catholic Bishop of Jalingo Diocese, Most Reverend Charles Hammawa, on Saturday said the Catholic Church was the worst hit by the attacks in Taraba State. He said many lives had been lost while many parishes were currently closed. Hammawa stated these while delivering a homily at the graduation of catechists at the Catholic Catechetical Training Institute in Jimlari near Jalingo, the state capital. The bishop said, “The world has never been without challenges, but the challenges facing Nigeria now are enormous. “In Taraba State, the crisis is quite disturbing and the Catholic Church is always the worst hit anytime it erupts.
