Kidnapped Catholic seminarians regain freedom

The three kidnapped students of Christ the King Major Seminary in Jemaa Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been released. 

The three seminarians were abducted by bandits suspected to be kidnappers on Monday October.

They were, however, released barely 48 hours after their abduction.

Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Reverend Father Emmanuel  Okolo, disclosed that the three seminarians were released by their abductors on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, there is no indication that any ransom was paid for their release, while the police authorities are yet to issue a statement on the development.

Father Okolo  while thanking God for the  quick release of the  seminarians, also prayed for the release of other kidnap victims who are still in the hands of their captors.
