Imo State Police Commissioner Audu Bosso has confirmed that no ransom was paid for the release of 20 prospective National Youth Service Corps members and a civilian abducted along the Owerri-Onitsha Road on October 1, 2026. The victims were rescued after a joint operation by security agencies, including the Nigeria Police, Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of State Services, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
Bosso stated that sustained pressure from the security forces led to the abductors releasing the victims, adding that the rescued individuals are receiving medical attention at the DSS hospital and will be handed over to the NYSC Director-General.
