Bombs preventing rescue of kidnapped youths, Nigerian police say

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

Police Commissioner Audu Bosso said drones helped locate the camp where the prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members were taken after being abducted last week in the south-eastern Imo state.

Nigerian police say they have located a camp where 19 national youth service recruits are being held by gunmen but cannot move in as they believe the place is mined with explosives.

The latest abduction highlights the risks faced by young people travelling across Nigeria to do their national youth service and has renewed calls for reforms.
