Families of Rescued NYSC Members Paid Millions in Ransom
Families of the rescued National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members expressed distress over the substantial ransoms they paid to kidnappers for their loved ones' release. A mother revealed she paid N3 million, while a father disclosed he paid N6 million for his son's freedom.
The families coordinated efforts in Ibadan, Oyo State, to gather the funds, with some even converting money to dollars for delivery to Imo State. Despite the relief of their loved ones' return, the financial strain of these payments has left the families in a difficult position.
The rescue operation was carried out by security agencies, including the military and the Department of State Services (DSS), on Wednesday, highlighting ongoing security challenges in the region.
