The eight members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, who were kidnapped by unknown assailants on their way from Uyo in Akwa State to Sokoto State have been released.
The Director-General of NYSC, YD Ahmed, who addressed the press on Friday, warned Corps Members against travelling at night.
He said the welfare and security of all members will continue to be the priority of the scheme.
“You will remember when these four members were travelling from Uyo in Akwa Ibom to Sokoto,” he started.
“They were kidnapped on 17 August 2024 on Funtua Bisau Road in Zamfara State.
“While in Zambara, we collaborated with the Army, Police, DSS and traditional rulers.
“We also had a meeting with the governor of Zambara State regarding the kidnapping of the prospective corps members.
“Consequently, through the combined effort of the security agencies, especially the Nigerian army and the NYSC, the mission started yielding results with the rescue of the first set of prospective four members.”
