THREE corps members serving at the Ogonokom Community Secondary
school, Abua/Odua Local Government Area of Rivers State, have been
kidnapped.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Angela Agabe, the victims were abducted at the school corper’s lodge.
It was gathered that the kidnappers arrived at the lodge at about 12 am Friday, shot indiscriminately in the air before whisking their victims to an unknown destination.
The abducted Corp members were two males and one female.
Though kidnapping of Corp members has been a recurrent incident in the State, the menace subsided in the last one year, making this case the first in several months.
Agbade said the Police has intensified effort to secure the release of the hostages unhurt.
A senior officer with the State National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) said Corps members at Ogonokom Community had been relocated temporarily to a nearby community for safety.
He added that they might go back to Ogonokom community when their security is guaranteed.
