CWN Editor's Note: Gunmen entered a Catholic church in Udi, Nigeria, on August 2 and abducted a seminarian and two fellow worshippers.

“The kidnappers initially abducted the seminarian, catechist, and another person in the church,” said a witness to the incident. “But after they moved with the victims for a few minutes, the kidnappers asked the catechist to go back and then entered the bush with the seminarian and the other worshipper.”
