Twenty prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members and one civilian abducted while travelling through Imo State have been rescued in an intelligence-led operation involving the military, Department of State Services (DSS), police and other security agencies.
The victims were reportedly abducted while travelling through the state, prompting security agencies to launch a coordinated operation to locate and secure their release.
Security sources said the rescued victims are currently receiving medical attention at a DSS facility. Authorities are also working to establish the circumstances surrounding the abduction and apprehend suspects linked to the incident.
The rescue comes amid ongoing security operations aimed at tackling kidnapping and other criminal activities in parts of the South-East.
