Two Catholic seminary students remain imprisoned more than two months after their July 9 capture at Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary School in Agenebode. Armed criminals attacked the religious institution, killing one security officer and wounding a local guard before seizing three young men. Families secured the release of one student through ransom payment, leaving his classmates behind bars.
The captors continue demanding money for the remaining seminarians' freedom. A disturbing video surfaced showing the victims pleading for assistance while displaying a human skull. Catholic Diocese authorities verified the footage's legitimacy and confirmed ongoing negotiations with the criminals.
Law enforcement agencies from Edo and Kogi states collaborate on rescue efforts. Police officials promised continued action to secure the students' safe return. Seminary representatives declined recent requests for case updates, though sources confirm the young men remain captive despite months of intervention attempts.
