Police in Benue State and the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo give conflicting accounts regarding the disappearance of seminarian Kelvin Ochai. According to the Diocese, Ochai is abducted from the Bishop’s residence in Asa III on Wednesday night. The Diocese therefore frames the incident as an abduction. Benue State Police, by contrast, treat the case as a missing person matter rather than an abduction. The differing descriptions of what happened at the Bishop’s residence are presented as the main point of disagreement. Multiple reports state that the seminarian’s disappearance is the subject of active attention by both the Diocese and police authorities, but they diverge on the interpretation of the incident’s circumstances. As the case develops, authorities and church officials continue to offer separate narratives about whether Ochai was taken by force or simply went missing after leaving or being present at the residence.
