A Catholic priest, Rev Fr Chinedu Nwadike and a seminarian, Emmanuel Nwafor, kidnapped on Friday have been released.
The priest who is the Deputy Registrar of Spiritan University, Nneochi, and the seminarian were kidnapped on the Enugu-Okigwe expressway on Friday.
Their abductors had placed N50m ransom as the condition for their release.
