PORT HARCOURT—THE five National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members taken hostage in Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers State are still in the custody of their abductors.

Meantime, Vanguard gathered from a community source, that another chief in the area was abducted weekend.
It was not clear if it was the same group that took the corps members hostage that was behind the latest kidnap.

The kidnappers, sources said, insisted that the hostages would only be released if the Chairman of the council, Mr. Nnamdi Anoucha, conceded to their demand that certain amount be paid to them periodically as security allowance. The source added that the kidnappers had vowed to create a sense of insecurity in the council, if their demand was not met.

The Chairman of the council could not be reached for comment.

Meantime, Vanguard investigation revealed that all the corps members serving in communities listed as flash points in the council had been relocated to the council headquarters and provided with police security at their residence. [/b]
