Gunmen who abducted members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, have reportedly demanded N20 million ransom for each of the victims still in captivity.
The corps members were among 15 NYSC members travelling from Bayelsa State to Abuja after completing their three-week orientation exercise when they were abducted along the Aloma-Egane Expressway in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
A family member of one of the victims disclosed that the kidnappers had contacted relatives and communicated their ransom demand.
“One of our daughters was kidnapped on her way from Bayelsa State to Abuja after completing the three-week orientation camp. The kidnappers are requesting N20 million,” the source said.
