NYSC Hasn’t Done Anything To Get My Daughter Released- Mother Of Abducted Corp Member On Abuja-Kaduna Road Cries Out

For Kaduna-Abuja express road, it has always been one tragedy that is too many. In the last few months, the highway has become a fertile ground for bandits who operate unchallenged and kidnap innocent travelers in exchange for ransom.

About a month ago, an NYSC Corp member, Faith Onoriode was kidnapped alongside others while traveling to Jigawa state for her Orientation programme.

Since the attack which specifically occured on March 21, the Biology/Microbiology graduate of the Delta state Polytechnic, Otefe, Oghara has remained with her abductors, leaving her mother in an endless mood of sorrow.

Speaking to Newsmen on the matter, the dejected mother, Mrs. Roseline Onoriode who confirmed that her daughter’s abductors are demanding for 40 million naira ransom said that they had reported the matter to NYSC, Abuja and Jigawa chapter but with no meaningful development.

“She is a corps member batch A, that was posted to NYSC Jigawa orientation camp. She boarded a vehicle from Sala’s Global Motor’s Effunrun Warri to Kano, from Kano to Jigawa NYSC orientation camp. She was kidnapped along Abuja Kaduna Road at Regania community some few kilometers to Kaduna state, on the 21st March, 2022,” Mrs Onoriode explained.

“The incident was reported at the NYSC head quarters Abuja and also NYSC Jigawa and even reported at the state command police head quarter at Kaduna but nothing has been done for her release. The family tried to negotiate with the kidnappers, the ransom they are calling is 40 million naira for her release

“She has been with them for over one month two days with the kidnappers. NYSC has not even done anything to release my daughter, not even a call from them. Please NYSC and federal government I am soliciting for your assistance for her release. I am the mother of the kidnapped girl am begging the federal government to help me for the release of my daughter. I am a poor widow please help me. Please please I am begging with the name of God for my daughter release and Nigerian please help me”.

The mother said the family last spoke to the daughter last week Monday April 10, adding that she was begging to be released.

“She said she had an injury on her leg. Government should please help my daughter. I am crying to all that can help”, she said.

The victim’s call up number is NYSC/DPO/2022/099882. Batch A, 2022. State of deployment, Jigawa.
