Security Forces Rescue 21 Abducted NYSC Members

Twenty prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members and one civilian were rescued following their abduction during travel in Imo State. The rescue operation was a coordinated effort involving the military, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies, which launched a joint intelligence-led operation.

All 21 victims were successfully freed, and they are now receiving attention at a DSS facility where their condition is being monitored. Ongoing efforts are being made to ascertain the full circumstances of the abduction and to apprehend any suspects still at large.

Security agencies have not disclosed details regarding the perpetrators or their motives. This incident occurs amidst growing concerns about the security situation in Imo State, which has experienced numerous violent incidents targeting both civilians and security personnel.

Additionally, the Ambassador of the APM has called on President Tinubu to resign due to what he described as worsening insecurity nationwide, following reports of kidnappers demanding N50 million each for the abducted victims.
