Two young seminarians at the Catholic Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary School at Ivianokpodi, Agenebode, Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State, have cried for help from their abductors’ den.
Three seminarians were abducted on July 10 after gunmen attacked their school and killed a member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).
One of the seminarians was released three days later but the other two have remained in captivity. 
The state Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, had promised to rescue the victim unhurt and apprehend the kidnappers but he is yet to do so.
Agbonika said: “The operatives will not relent until those behind this reprehensible act are tracked down and made to face the full wrath of the law.”
In a viral video released recently, the two victims were seen with human skull crying for help.
They begged their parents and the public to pay for their freedom getting money at all cost.
In the video, the victims were surrounded by masked gun-wielding men.
They were heard saying: “They kill people here. Our abductors have threatened to kill us. please send money to them to spare our lives.”
Spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Auchi, Rev. Fr Peter Egielewa, confirmed that the video was real.
Egielewa said: “The video you see of the Seminarians holding a human skull is real. We are negotiating with the kidnappers.
“But they are asking for money, which we do not have and I think it’s out of frustration they did that video.’’
Ondo Police spokesman, Moses Yamu , requested for the video which was sent to him but he is yet to respond.
