The Nigerian Army, through coordinated efforts with other security agencies led by the Officers and men of 2 Battalion under I Division, Kaduna, has successfully rescued one of the two remaining prospective corps members abducted in Zamfara in August last year.
With this rescue, seven out of the eight kidnapped corps members have been recovered. Efforts are ongoing to secure the release of the remaining male prospective corps member still held by the kidnappers.
Brigadier General Ahmed, the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, commended the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their dedication in rescuing the victims and expressed confidence in the eventual rescue of the remaining corps members.
He also advised all prospective and serving corps members to avoid night travels and remain vigilant for their security.
