The attack occurred on Sunday morning when gunmen stormed the church premises.

Ugwuanyi praised Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah for his involvement in the operation, stating that the kidnappers faced a "tough fight" due to the governor's intervention. The Director of the Department of State Services in Enugu State, the governor's aide-de-camp, and the Chairman of Udi Local Government Area, Ogbonnia Agu, were among those who contributed to the pursuit of the kidnappers.
Ugwuanyi expressed gratitude to God for the safe return of the kidnapped individuals. The remaining victims, a catechist and another worshipper, were released shortly after the initial attack.
