NYSC members pray for kidnapped colleagues
Officials and members of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Rivers State have embarked on prayer and
fasting sessions for the release of their kidnapped colleagues.
Five female corps members deployed to
Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers were kidnapped on September 16 at
their lodge, but one of them was freed.
An official of the NYSC told the press
on Tuesday in Port Harcourt that prayers and fasting had commenced for
divine intervention. The source said, “As a family, we agreed shortly
after the abduction that we should commence intensive prayers and
fasting for God to free these young ladies on national assignment. “We
anticipated that before seven days, the kidnappers will free them but
after the expiration of seven days, the girls are still there,” he
said.
The State NYSC Coordinator Esther Chimele-Wogbo, confirmed the move,
saying, “I refuse to speak further on this matter because I might be
emotional. As a mother, I cannot understand how four ladies should be
abducted while on selfless service to their fatherland,” she said.
