The police confirmed the abduction of two corps members but witnesses said more were affected.

Panic has set in among prospective corps members in Zamfara State following the abduction of some of their colleagues on their way to their orientation camp in Tsafe Local Government Area of the state.

The police spokesperson in the state, Muhammad Shehu, in a statement, said the police commissioner in the state, Ayuba Elkana, has visited the camp and assured NYSC officials of the safety of corps members in the camp.

It would be recalled that on 19th October, 2021, at about 2230 hours, a Vehicle with Reg. Number GBK 339 ZY was blocked by armed bandits while travelling from Benue to Sokoto State at near Wanzamai Village in Tsafe LGA. As a result, passengers whose identity unknown, were abducted.

Please guys, I need someone to contact in that camp. I've been calling my friend since last Wednesday and her two line have been switched off. Please someone I can call in Zamfara NYSC Camp, thanks.

You see what many of us have been condemning about this nysc of a thing, now they have entered one chance. Oya, they will start looking for millions to bail them out.

Of what benefit is nysc_ng to Nigerians, abolish NYSC for safety of Nigerians

Some people allowed their sons and daughters to go to Zamfara? What a height of irresponsibility! Even the government crew stay in Abuja all year long.

EndNYSCNow

Dem wey go Zamfara Wetin dem expect? Rubbish!!! With ur clear eye, you go serve for zamfara, to impress who?

Could this be ignorance? Why should anyone accept any posting to the North when you’re not from that region?

Soldiers no they there..?

Govt should stop nysc immediately...no one save in Nigeria especially north

Just calm down and imagine the headline is 'Panic in Imo NYSC camp as unknown gun men abducts corps members' By now they would have burnt down 10 communities, killed and abducts countless youths then threaten to declare state of emergency. Remember ObediahMailafia2022

If you haven't realised that our leaders are cruel despicable human beings who do not care about the common man, and you'd rather risk your life than act accordingly (redeploy at all possible costs or jettison nysc till you can get a safe posting), then I have no words for you.

I think it's dumb to have allowed NYSC members in those terrorised northern states. But I think the corps members who have gone there are really dumb!

I don't know y they will post graduates to red zone states 😂, them suppose sue NYSC

I don't even know what to say. My Sis was posted to Zamfara as far back as 2012 & we rejected same she remobilized later was posted to UYO. How dare you go to Zamfara in this present day Nigeria, ka inagi ahu uzo inagi anu ihe ?

Kachi_Anaero I told you this only a matter of time.

After 4 years of tertiary education, our graduates didn’t bother to read the NYSC handbook? Newsflash, NYSC isn’t liable for what happens to you. So sit at home till you get posted to a safer region.

daboh_p have you seen this?

It’s people that agreed to go that I blame.

As usual, BMC is quiet. They're waiting for lai lai uncle, to tell them what to say, before they start to bark.

EiENigeria But they were literally warned to hold ransom money, is that not enough info not go

EiENigeria Scrap this useless nonsense since, una no go hear... If you want to visit any part of the country, visit relatively safe places. If you want national bonding with other northerners, go to the market, work in NNPC, Adamu is in your street, you went to school with Musa...

Any southerner who goes to those places in the name of serving Nigeria isn't in his or her right mind.

Any dingbat going to zamfara or any other terrorist conquered north to serve a dead nation is a mad !

EiENigeria I can’t believe parents are still sending their children to the North. Stop playing kalokalo with your children’s lives

EiENigeria Well, I will never say that they deserve it. For f*ck sake, what the h3ll is anyone serving in Zamfara state for?

Isssoryt 🌚

The govt should pay their ransoms not their parents.

nysc now a distributor for terrorist bandit? if nor be on purpose why will anyone in their right mind post pple children to zamfara? e don reach make them stop this nysc. if they cant make the country safe for all then i dont see a need for it.

Even people from Zamfara state Dey avoid Zamfara. What kind of mental illness will cloud your judgment to the point where you’ll allow yourself to go there for NYSC.

La hawla

Allowee should not make you southerners risk your life unnecessary. Zamfara that is hotspot for bandit and they foolishly went there. Who doesn't know that those places are no go areas.

Don't restructure NYSC,scrap/abolish it. The conditions under which it was formed has bn eroded,it is now a threat to existence of graduates in the programme. With Nigeria debt portfolio,NYSC is never a priority anymore.

Even Maiduguri is safer than zamfara as it is right now

Bubu

What is the basis of even deploying them in the first place to such a troubled spot? Senseless

bank0l3 see this kind thing

Anyone posted to any where in the north should reject the posting vehemently. That place isn't safe at all.

That useless khaki they wear is what’s making them go for the service

Omo

Anyone killed under NYSC service killer himself or herself

Some want to prove buhari and lai Mohammed right

Nysc corpers in the north are sitting ducks, this government doesn't care about them. How i wish Nigerian companies can have sense and stop making nysc a recruitment criteria.

Zamfara used to be very peaceful. 😔😔😔

BournesWrld you go like still go do nysc ?

To Serve Nigeria is not by force!

Nysc and federal government should be held accountable... Why should nysc and federal government post corpers or send Dem der to served....

If them no post you within SS SE abeg no go

I blame the people that allowed their progeny to go for service in the Northern part of this country.

People went to Zamfara for NYSC Really In the face of this security crisis in the country Ha, must be ment sha

It is irresponsible of any parents to be sending their children to the North for a stupid NYSC program 🙄

Chaiiiii

Something Hooge...... Parade to remove corp members, remove corp members!!!

Why are NYSC corpers risking their lives? Sit home fgs if they deploy you to unsafe zones.

nysc_ng has no leadership.

Ah

They won't end this NYSC thing because they're benefiting from it. Stop risking lives. Them curse this countr?

This nonsense scheme should be scrapped once and for all

Atlas

To think I served in that same Zamfara a little over a decade ago when there wasn't any need to be scared of banditry is indeed now very frightening. God I thank you for your grace

At this point, Parents need to stop sending their children outside their residence for NYSC,it is not safe anymore.

We need to suspend this thing for now

Na mumu dey go north, if them post me go I g wait till the next posting

I won't even say anything.

Cchharm Some people really rely on Nigeria security I laughed the last time someone said northern state capital is safe

You enter road - bandits miss you You enter camp - bandits catch you This life Ehnn 😑

For this clear foolishness, MBuhari should sack himself, Osubande, NSA, MofD and service chiefs,

If any of my family members travel there for nysc nonsense, whatever they see, they should take, because I'm not going to pay shishi.

If you as a Southerner, because of 33k these beasts deploy you to the North and especially Zamfara and you embark on that Journey, Mumu can not qualify what you are tbvh.

Why were corp members camped in Zamfara for Pete sake! Why play ping pong with the lives of Nigerian youths?

Someone need to sue the NYSC.. because it’s their responsibility to protect every corps members… not providing security is criminal and negligence.

The last time there was debate to cancel this program. All the idiots eating from it were out talking about how to rebrand it for the sake of a united Nigeria. How much (lives and money) are individuals going to loose before the rebrand?

Them post you go zamfara u carry ur leg go and you say you be graduate

My friend is there o

IPOB should please rest they should stop attacking places

Corp members in Zamfara I don't get, this is crazy.

IPOB not bandits/terrorists

This NYSC of a thing should be cancelled. The safety of people supersedes any national assignment.

abdhoul_mb da yanzu harda Kai

Who in his right sense of mind go to Zamfara or any northern part of Nigeria to serve. What are u serving?

If you're from the south, and you're in any NYSC camp or service in the north, whatever happened,is on you.

This is a terrifying and horrific experience….for the corps members

I hate this country.

This programme should be cancelled haba!!

Y risk the life of ur kids for nysc
