Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, who represents Kaduna South Senatorial District, has expressed sympathy with the Emir of Jama’a, His Royal Highness Alhaji (Dr.) Muhammadu Isa Muhammadu II, OFR, CON, following a fire outbreak at the Emir’s Palace in Kafanchan, Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Senator Katung thanked Almighty Allah for the absence of casualties, saying the preservation of lives was a sign of divine protection over the Emir, the royal household and the community.
He praised the Emir for his calm and fatherly leadership, expressing confidence that the Jama’a Emirate would recover from the incident with renewed strength and unity.

On behalf of the people of Kaduna South Senatorial District, Katung pledged continued support and solidarity with the Emir and the entire Jama’a Emirate.
He concluded by praying for long life, good health and wisdom for the Emir to continue guiding the Emirate toward peace and stability.
