Kidnapped corps members: NYSC officials resort to prayers

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) officials  in Rivers  have resorted to prayers for the  release of  five corps members abducted seven days ago.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the victims  were kidnapped at Omedeme in Ikwerre Local Government Area  of the state on June 9.

The victims  were abducted on their way   to inspect a  library project they  donated to a school as part of their community development services during their  primary assignment.

NAN gathered that the abductors had already demanded a ransom of  N100 million from  the parents of the victims.

Mr Ben Esan, the NYSC Public Relations Officer, told NAN on Monday in Port Harcourt that officials and corps members were asked to seek divine intervention.

NAN gathered that the victims  were expected to pass out with the Batch ‘B’ team on Thursday.

“ The major worry of the NYSC officials, in the state is that the kidnappers no longer contact any of the state officials  unlike what obtained when a similar incident took place in January.
