Through the assistance of security agencies, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has obtained the release of one of the eight Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) kidnapped in Zamfara State.

According to Megwa, the PCM, a female, was released on Friday about 12.30 p.m.

“The scheme is confident that the remaining will be released thanks to the combined efforts of security agencies.”

“As Management reminds corps members and prospective recruits to constantly prioritize their personal security.

“The scheme shall never shirk its responsibility of upholding the security and welfare of corps embers at all times,” he went on to say.
