Abducted Corps Member Freed After N1.1m Ransom Payment

Corps Member Rescued Following N1.1m Ransom Demand

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Rofiat Lawal has been released after her family and friends raised ₦1.1 million to secure her freedom. Lawal was abducted on Tuesday while traveling from Benin, Edo State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, where she was to resume her primary assignment.

Initially, the kidnappers demanded a ₦20 million ransom, which her family could not afford. After negotiations, they agreed to accept ₦1.1 million, which was raised through contributions from her family, friends, and religious associations.

Lawal was released unharmed after the ransom was paid. This incident highlights the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria, particularly along major highways, and raises concerns about the safety of citizens, including those participating in national service programs.
