\u201cI urge the state government to double its efforts and live up to its responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the people and restoring peace and Security in the county on this note,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call upon the state of Authority for an immediate end to these heinous attacks and the release of the abducted Catholic priest\u2019s father Luke and his driver as well as other civilians held hostage by the attackers.\u201d<\/p>\n
