An Ibadan-based woman, Mrs Alimot Akande, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to rescue her daughter and 18 other abducted persons.

Akande made the appeal while speaking with journalists on Thursday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

ZINGTIE gathered that 19 prospective members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, were abducted while travelling to Abia State on Thursday.

The prospective corps members were said to have departed Ibadan on Wednesday before they were kidnapped between Anambra and Abia States in the early hours of Thursday.

Akande’s daughter was among the 19 prospective NYSC members abducted in the incident.

Speaking on the development, she appealed to Tinubu and the relevant security agencies to secure the safe and unharmed release of all the victims.

Akande further disclosed that she had been unable to establish contact with her daughter since the incident occurred.

According to her: “I am Mrs Alimot Akande. I am the parent of one of the victims. The prospective corps members boarded a bus belonging to a commercial transport company in the Sango area for the long journey to Abia State.

“The passengers had a stopover on Wednesday night in Onitsha at about 10 p.m., and the journey continued on Thursday morning before she quickly dropped a message that simply said, ‘kidnappers!’ indicating that the bus had been attacked by suspected armed kidnappers.

“I appeal to the Federal Government, the NYSC, the police and other security agencies to rescue my daughter and the others unhurt.”
