National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) said it has secured the release of one of the eight Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) abducted in Zamfara State, through the help of security agencies.
This is contained in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa.
NEWSTODAYNG recalled that in August eight corps members and their bus driver were abducted in Zamfara State by gunmen on their way from Uyo, Akwa Ibom to Sokoto, for the commencement of the one-year national service orientation course.
According to Megwa, the PCM, a female, regained freedom on Friday, at about 12.30pm.
“The scheme is confident that with the combined efforts of security agencies, the remaining will be released.
“As corps members and prospective ones alike are admonished by management to always prioritise their personal security.
“The scheme shall never shirk its responsibility of upholding the security and welfare of corps members at all times,” he added.
