Gunmen attacked the Catholic Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary in Ivianokpodi, Agenebode, Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo, killing an NSCDC officer and abducting three students.
The incident occurred around 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday and has been condemned by the Catholic Diocese of Auchi.
The seminary was attacked by gunmen, resulting in the death of an NSCDC officer and the abduction of three students.
This is the second time in 10 months that the school has come under attack, raising concerns about the safety of Catholic institutions and personnel.
The Catholic Diocese of Auchi strongly condemned the incident and expressed deep concern over the repeated targeting of its institutions, personnel, and facilities.
“We are deeply saddened and condemn in the strongest terms this act of violence,” Egielewa said, describing the persistent attacks as troubling and unacceptable.
“This is the second time in 10 months that the school has been attacked. Ten months ago, a priest was kidnapped.
“And now three seminarians were abducted and a civil defence corps is killed, while a local vigilante sustained gun injuries.
“We call on the government to protect the lives of all those who work in catholic institution and our diocese.
“We hope the security agencies at the local, state and federal levels to take up the responsibility on that, so our people can be in peace and safety,” Egielewa said.
