The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday disclosed that it has successfully secured the release of kidnapped corps in Zamfara State members through a joint military effort.
New Telegraph recalls that the prospective corp members were abducted last year while on their route to the NYSC Orientation Camp in Sokoto State.
With the latest rescue, the total number of NYSC members released now stands at five.
According to the scheme, efforts are currently being made to guarantee that the remaining three captives, one female and two males, are released as soon as possible.
