Abducted Corp members regain freedom in Rivers


About seven members of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) who were abducted on their way to Port Harcourt, Rivers State from the orientation camp in Ondo State have regained their freedom after spending one week in the kidnappers den.


Confirming this development to newsmen, the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, said: “I have just contacted the Rumuji Police Division. The corpers have been released.”


Recall that last week Tuesday, 12 Corps members were abducted by armed men along the Rumuji axis of the East-West Road, Emuoha Local Government Area of the State.


It was gathered that among the 12 that were abducted, five managed to escape.


Also confirming the release of the abducted Corps members is a family member of one of the victims.


According to the man who claimed his sister-in-law was among those kidnapped, he told journalists in Port Harcourt on Wednesday that the Corps members were freed at about 9 pm on Sunday evening around Choba in Obio/Akpor local government area after a ransom was paid.


“They were released on Sunday evening around 9. I saw seven of them that there released, two girls and five boys.


“According to one of the parents that came there that day, said they paid a ransom. They were in horrible condition. It was like they used mud in robbing them and if you see their body, maybe they were bitten by mosquitoes or sand-fly in the bush.


“They went to report themselves at the police station where it happened and they took their statement and try to see if they can get their belongings.”
