Families of Rescued NYSC Members Say They Paid Up to ₦6 Million in Ransoms

Relatives of NYSC members rescued by security agencies say they had already paid kidnappers millions of naira before the operation. One mother said she raised and delivered ₦3 million while fearing for her child’s safety. A father said several families gathered money in Ibadan, with some converting cash to dollars before it was sent to Imo State. The father, who said he paid ₦6 million after borrowing heavily, expressed relief over his son’s return but questioned how he would repay the debt. The corps members and another hostage were reportedly rescued on Wednesday by security agencies, including the military and the DSS.
