Mother Appeals to Tinubu for Rescue of Kidnapped NYSC Members
Mrs. Alimot Akande, an Ibadan-based woman, has made a heartfelt appeal to President Bola Tinubu, the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies for the rescue of her daughter and 18 other prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who were abducted on their way to Abia State. The group was kidnapped between Anambra and Abia States in the early hours of Thursday after departing Ibadan on Wednesday.
Akande reported that her daughter sent a brief message indicating that the bus they were traveling in had been attacked by armed kidnappers. She urged the federal government, the NYSC, and security agencies to ensure the safe return of the victims, expressing concern over her inability to contact her daughter since the incident.
The prospective corps members had a stopover in Onitsha around 10 p.m. on Wednesday before continuing their journey.
