Female Corps Member Abducted On Her Way To PPA In Oyo State

A serving member of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC has reportedly been abducted by suspected kidnappers.

According to report, she was kidnapped while traveling from Benin, Edo State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, en route to her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) in Ogbomoso.

The incident occurred on Tuesday when she boarded an Ore-bound bus.

However, her abductors have since contacted her family, demanding a ransom of N20 million.

A friend of the victim, identified as Agbakwara, raised the alarm on Facebook, expressing deep distress over the situation.

“We have been close friends since our 100 level. I haven’t been myself since this happened,” he wrote.

According to him, a report was made to the NYSC Secretariat in Ibadan, along with Kofoworola’s call-up number, but there has been no official response.

“We are exhausted and desperate for help!” he added.

He also revealed that Kofoworola’s parents are financially struggling and unable to meet the kidnappers’ demand.

He said, “My close friend Lawal Rofiat Kofoworola Lawal Rofiat Ewatomi was kidnapped on her way from Benin to Ibadan to resume at her PPA in Ogbomosho. She managed to call yesterday and told me she was inside an Ore-bound bus when she was taken.

“This is someone who has struggled all her life, supporting herself through university by working at Dufil company in Benin. Now, kidnappers are demanding ₦20 million, and we don’t know what to do. Her parents are less privileged and can’t afford this.

“I have reported to the NYSC Secretariat in Ibadan and dropped her call-up number, but there has been no response. We are exhausted and desperate for help!
