One of the four young Catholic seminarians who were held captive in January by unknown gunmen has been killed by his abductors.

It could be recalled that the four youths were kidnapped on January 9, about four weeks ago by some unknown gunmen who stormed their school at Kaukau along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway in the Chikun Local Government Area of the state.

On Friday last, three weeks after the incident, Rev. Father Usman disclosed that three among the kidnapped students have regained their freedom.

However, it has now been confirmed that Nnadi Michael, the withheld victim has been killed by the gunmen.

The names of the other three set free are Kanwai Pius, Stephen Amos John Paul and Umeanuka Peter. They are students of philosophy at the Seminary.

The Registrar of Good Shepherd Major Seminary, Rev. Father Joel Usman, confirmed the killing of the one Michael, barely 24 hours after the release of the other three.
