Fifteen members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been reported kidnapped by gunmen while travelling after completing their orientation programme when they were intercepted by the armed men.
According to reports, the BYSC members were returning in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State on Wednesday. The incident has raised concerns over the safety of corps members serving in the state.
Details surrounding the abduction, including the identities of the victims and the circumstances of the attack, remain unclear. Security agencies are expected to intensify efforts to locate the abducted corps members and secure their safe release.
The incident has also renewed calls for stronger security measures around NYSC camps and routes used by corps members, particularly in areas vulnerable to criminal activities.
