Oyo State Criticizes Imo for Handling NYSC Release
The Oyo State Government has accused the Imo State Government of breaching protocol by not communicating directly about the release of 20 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who were abducted while traveling from Oyo State to Imo State. Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media to the Oyo State governor, stated that the corps members should have been formally handed over to Oyo State after their debriefing by the Department of State Services (DSS).
He expressed relief over their release and reunion with their families, emphasizing that the welfare of the victims is the government's primary concern. Olanrewaju noted that while the incident occurred outside Oyo State, the lives of its citizens matter to the government.
He also mentioned that the Oyo State Government had collaborated with Imo State following the abduction and reiterated the commitment to support the victims despite communication issues regarding their release.
