In a separate development, Reverend Father Marcellinus Obioma Okide, the parish priest of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Amofia-Agu Affa, in the Udi local government area of Enugu State, has been freed by his abductors.

Rev. Father Okide was kidnapped on a Sunday evening while traveling back to his parish with six other individuals along Eke-Affa-Egede Road. The abduction was reportedly carried out by gunmen believed to be herdsmen.
