Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Barely 48 hours after their abduction, the three Kidnapped Seminarians from Christ the King Major Seminary in Jema\u2019a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on Wednesday, regained their freedom from their abductors.<\/p>\n

The Chancellor, Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Reverend Father Emmanuel Uchechukwu Okolo, confirmed their release on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Recall that bandits on Monday night, attacked seven seminarians at the school chapel. They succeeded in kidnapping three, while others escaped.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cwith hearts filled with joy, we raise our voices in a symphony of praises as we announce the return of our Three Major Seminarians, who were abducted by armed persons from the Chapel of the Seminary at Christ the King Major Seminary, Fayit Fadan Kagoma in Jema\u2019a Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Monday 11 October, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, barely 48 hours after their kidnap, the beloved three brothers were released by their abductors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to thank all those that have offered prayers and entreaties for the quick release of our Seminarians and others who are still in the dens of their kidnappers. We pray God to hasten the release of those who are still in the hands of their captors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll our priests are directed to kindly celebrate Mass of Thanksgiving to God tomorrow, Thursday, 14th October 2021, for the quick and safe release of our Seminarians.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay Our Lady of Guadalupe intercede for us and all those that are still in captivity!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
