Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have rescued four National Youth Service Corps members who were kidnapped on March 9, 2020 along Funtua-Gusau Road on their way to the NYSC Orientation Camp in Gusau in Zamfara State.
They were rescued, according to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy Commissioner of Police Frank Mba, on Wednesday.
Mba said the successful rescue operation came as a result of diligent and intense intelligence gathering and sustained coordinated operations.
The corps members rescued were Oladehin Paul, Ojo Temitope, Ojewale Elizabeth and Adenigbuyan Adegboyega.
Mba said they have since been handed over to the Zamfara State Director of the NYSC, while Mohammed Ardo, a co-traveller from Gusau, who was also kidnapped along with the corps members, has also been rescued and successfully reunited with his family.
He said the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, while commending the Commissioner in charge of Katsina State Police Command, Sanusi Buba, his operatives as well as good citizens of the State who supported the police operations, assured Nigerians of the unrelenting determination of the Force to rid the nation of all forms of crime and criminality.
