Imo Police Commissioner Confirms Location of Abducted NYSC Members

Imo State Police Commissioner Audu Garba Bosso provided an update regarding the abduction of 19 prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Imo State. The victims were kidnapped while traveling from Ibadan, Oyo State, to orientation camps in Abia and Akwa Ibom states on Thursday along the Owerri-Onitsha Road in the Umunoha area.

Bosso stated that security operatives have pinpointed the location of the abducted individuals but are delaying their entry due to concerns about improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the area. Drones were deployed to track the abductors, confirming their location.

The police are preparing to enter the area with heavy equipment, including bulldozers and armored personnel carriers, to ensure the safe rescue of the victims. Bosso expressed optimism about the operation, indicating that they are ready to move into the bush at any moment.
