The Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Kaduna on Wednesday night announced that the three abducted seminarians of Christ the King Major Seminary, St. Albert Institute, Fayit, Fadan Kagoma in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have been released.

Bandits invaded the Catholic institution on Monday night and went away with three seminarians. Six others were left injured.

However, chancellor of the diocese Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Okolo, in a memo, thanked all who prayed for the quick release of the seminarians and others who are in captivity.

“All 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,” the memo read.
