Security Forces Arrest Five in NYSC Kidnap Case
On October 16, security forces, including soldiers, Department of State Services (DSS) operatives, and police, arrested five suspected members of a criminal gang responsible for the abduction of 20 prospective National Youth Service Corps members in Imo State. A security source described the arrests as a significant relief, stating that security agencies had been conducting a wide-ranging manhunt for the abductors.
The operations took place between October 10 and 14 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and Aba South Local Government Area of Abia State. During these operations, three other suspects managed to escape with gunshot injuries, prompting an ongoing manhunt for them.
The arrested suspects are expected to be charged in court by the DSS, with hopes that the corps members will receive justice.
