Suspicious Role Our Driver Played In Our Kidnap – NYSC Victim by ijustdey(op): 12:26pm On Jan 19, 2025

Miss Abasifreke Joseph, a Corps Member, kidnapped on January 9, 2025 along Enugu-Ezike Road, on her way to Kogi, says she faced torture and hunger in the hands of her captors.

Joseph, who was released on January 13, gave the narration in Abak, on Sunday, when Mr Sam Pepple, the NYSC Coordinator in Akwa Ibom, visited her.

She said: “I spent five days and five nights at the kidnappers’ den without water and food.”

The corps member said she and other hostages were beaten and dispossessed of their mobile phones and other valuables.

“I was posted to Kogi for national youth service, I reported at the orientation camp, and was sworn in on November 29, 2024.”
“I became sick while the orientation course was ongoing, so I got the permission and approval of the Camp Director to travel home for medical attention.

“I was returning to Kogi on Jan. 9, the incident happened at about 4.30p.m along Enugu-Ezike Road in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area,” she said.

Joseph said while the journey was ongoing, a motorcycle rider broke the news of armed robbery attack in front, but surprisingly, the driver of our bus did not listen and kept going forward until they ran into the kidnappers.

“When they started shooting, our driver quickly came down from the vehicle, opened the door and asked us to run into the bush. It also surprised us that the kidnappers asked our driver to go unhurt, he was not taken hostage,” she said.

She expressed her appreciation to the NYSC scheme for its prompt response and solidarity during her ordeal

Earlier, Pepple thanked God for sparing the corps member’s life, and expressed the commitment of the NYSC scheme towards the safety of members.

“As soon as we were informed of the incident, we swung into action to ensure her safe release. We are happy that she is back with her family.

“The NYSC is a responsible organisation, we ensure adequate care for our members. We treat corps members as our children, so NYSC knows what to do for her.

“I have seen her, she is in high spirit, and in good condition, which is different from what is being reported on the social media,” he said.(NAN)

Na wa..similar thing happened to me around 2011 while travelling along benin ore express way with cross country bus....bikeman indicated about a robbery ahead but the driver kept going ...until we sighted the armed men ahead and the front seat passenger gave the driver a dirty slap. Baba had to do a 360 that nearly somersaulted the bus.

The dirty slap restored the driver's sanity instantly.

What I notice about highway travel is that, the drivers n soldiers at checkpoint are complicit

The drivers most times are working with the kidnappers so they know what awaits them n u hardly hear drivers got killed in all these

Another one is security check point, once those ones see a big car or a car they feel has high value citizens wey go pay, na to call the kidnappers to strike in front n they share the percentage

Have u observed y kidnapers only kidnap people after security check point?

5 days without water? That must be a medical first. And NYSC said they swung into action as in how? Action film?

No one is talking about the ransom that was undoubtedly paid by her family because there are still passengers from the same bus in captivity up to this moment. Why was only this lady and 4 others freed?

So scary to read, and there is no end in sight for an improved road safety for Nigerian road users, what a nation, what an APC government.

Jihadists are gradually taking over Nigerian highways and forests while Nigerians cluster themselves in the cities until they spread to the cities and capture them like rats.

We need more Sharia courts, we need to be more liberal to Fulani herdsmen, we need to focus more on ensuring no Igbo person becomes President of Nigeria, that is the only way to keep Nigeria secured angry

Benin Ore road is a place where the bike men and onlookers confuse traveller by making them stop. They make them stop with false alarm about danger ahead or within the vehicle. Maybe that played a role.
