Ten months after gunmen attacked the Catholic Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary School at Ivianokpodi, Agenebode in Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo, abducting a priest and killing a seminarian, they struck again on Thursday night, killing a civil defence corps attached to the school.
The Directorate, Social Communications, Catholic Diocese of Auchi, Rev. Fr. Peter Egielewa, who confirmed the incident on Friday, said the gunmen who attacked the school at about 9:00 pm, also abducted three students of the school.
He expressed displeasure over the persistence attack on the Catholic School, personnel and its facilities.

“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 the Catholic institution and our diocese.
“We implore the security agencies at the local, state and federal level to take up the responsibility on that, so our people can be in peace and safety,” Egielewa added.
