Three of the four kidnapped seminarians of Good Shepherd Catholic Major Seminary at Kakau village along the Kaduna-Abuja road have regained their freedom.

Concise News understands that the last victim, identified as Nnamdi Michael was killed by their abductors and dumped in a bush on Sunday.

Those freed are Pius Kanwai, 19; Peter Umenukor, 23; and Stephen Amos, 23.  The four seminarians were at the beginning of their philosophy studies when the incident occurred.

Recall that kidnappers stormed the seminary three weeks ago through a porous point and started shooting sporadically before abducting the seminarians from their hostels.

Spokesman for the Kaduna state police command, DSP Yakubu Sabo, confirmed the abduction, adding that the timely response of policemen prevented the gunmen from abducting more students.

Sabo also said that police operatives had started working towards rescuing the victims.

However, the Registrar of the seminary, Reverend Father Joel Usman, in a statement on Sunday confirmed that the body of the seminarian was found dead inside a bush.
