Imo: Security forces rescue 20 NYSC members from abductors

A total of twenty NYSC members together with a civilian have been rescued following their abduction when on transit in Imo State.

This rescue was done during an operation that involved intelligence activities coordinated by a team of security operatives from the military, Department of State Services (DSS), police, among others.

The prospective corps members were reportedly travelling through the state when they were abducted, prompting security agencies to launch an operation to track down their captors and secure their release.

Following intelligence gathering and coordinated efforts, the security operatives located and rescued all 21 victims.

The operation is part of ongoing efforts by security agencies to tackle kidnapping and other criminal activities along major routes in the state.

The rescued victims are currently receiving medical attention at a DSS facility, according to security sources, while efforts are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the abduction and apprehend any remaining suspects.
