An employee of the Nigerian
Christian Pilgrims Commission
(NCPC) was last Saturday attacked in
a hotel in Israel by persons
suspected to be Nigerians, Daily
Trust learnt yesterday.
The employee who was thrown out
of the window from the fourth floor
of the hotel by the attackers
sustained injuries and is being
treated at an Israeli hospital in
Jerusalem a source told Daily Trust.
However, the commission issued a
terse press statement to say that its
staff was involved in an accident in
Bethlehem in the course of this
year’s pilgrimage operations.
The statement signed by its head of
media Toruka Celestine Ogugua said
the Israeli security operatives have
started investigating the matter and
that the results would be
communicated “as soon as they are
through.”
The victim is said to be from Kaduna
state but his suspected assailants are
believed to hail from Edo state. They
have been arrested by the Israeli
security operatives.
The victim was said to be having
some money on him which may
have attracted the assailants.
Daily Trust could not confirm the
name of the victim last night as the
officials kept sealed lips because his
mother is said to be hypertensive.
The victim’s brother Daily Trust
further learnt yesterday set out to
Israe
