The five corps members abducted four days ago by 15 suspected gunmen in Ifon community, Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State, have regained their freedom after coughing out N5 million ransom.
The victims, who include three females and two male corps members, were kidnapped along Ifon-Owo highway in the Ose council of the state on their way from Enugu State, where they had undergone the mandatory orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
During the attack, the driver of the vehicle as well as a female passenger were shot dead. The victims include Adewole Oluwaseun, Oluwadara Feranmi, Andrew Patience, Oribamise Taiwo, and Ajayi Lekan.
A brother to one of the victims, Lawal Happiness, narrated the incident, saying: “After they were done with their NYSC orientation programme, they reported to their PPA accordingly in order to come home to get her stuff for proper resumption. They embarked on this journey on July 18, 2024, and left Enugu State at 9 a.m.”
The state police command spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed that the victims have been found. The police are yet to confirm if any arrest has been made in connection with the kidnapping.
