Sister of one of the National Youth Service Corps members abducted in Kogi State has appealed to the Federal Government and security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue the victims.

🇳🇬 Here's What Happened

The woman, identified as Chidinma, said her family was still grieving the death of their mother some months ago and could not bear another loss.

In an emotional appeal shared on her Instagram Story on Saturday, she said the abducted corps members were still being held in the forest while their families struggled to meet the kidnappers’ ransom demands.

“My sister was taken away on Wednesday and other corps members. They are not doing anything. They keep telling us that they are on it.

“Those children are in the forest suffering, the kidnappers kept asking for what we cannot afford. Government should take this matter up because those children are still government property,” she said.

Chidinma also disputed reports that some of the abducted corps members had been rescued, saying her sister was still missing.

“I heard some bloggers said they rescued some. They did not rescue anybody. My sister will not go like that, we just lost our mum few months back, and now my sister. Nigerians should come to our rescue,” she said.

Earlier on Thursday, Chidinma had posted an emotional video appealing to the government, the police, the NYSC and Nigerians to intervene.

According to her, her sister had travelled to Bayelsa State for the NYSC three-week orientation camp and was later posted to Niger State for her Place of Primary Assignment.

She said her sister was returning from Bayelsa to Abuja when the vehicle conveying her and other corps members was attacked.
