In Imo State, five people have been taken into custody in relation to the kidnapping of twenty members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) reportedly worked together in an operation that resulted in the suspects’ arrests, as reported by TVC.
Twenty members of the corps who were kidnaped have just been released from captivity.
Security forces initiated a search and rescue operation after the victims were kidnaped while traversing the state.
The abductors had been the subject of a widespread manhunt, according to TVC’s security source, who characterised the arrests as a huge relief.
“I can breathe much easier now. We are overjoyed that the kidnappers have been apprehended; security forces had been actively searching for them.
There will be justice for the corps members because “we strongly believe they will be charged to court by DSS,” the insider stated.
