the operation that saved the victim who was serving at ABC Farm,
Ilamija Nla Village when she was kidnapped. The rescued kidnapped victim, Onyiwara Chinwe Faith
Elkana told NewsmakersNG: “The Corp member was rescued at
about 2.20 am today in a swamp forest around Ilamija Nla in Epe after a
gun battle. The kidnappers’ ring leader Moses Ofeye, 31 years old from
Ondo State, of Ijaw origin, was arrested with gun wounds. The victim was
taken to hospital for medical attention due to the shock and trauma she
experienced and long-distance trek. But she is in stable condition. She
has just been handed over to the Lagos State Coordinator of the NYSC
and her family by the Commissioner of Police.
“Onyiwara Chinwe Faith was abducted on 29/11/2019 while on her way to
attend CDS meeting at Ilamija, Epe. The abductors demanded the ransom
of N50million but later reduced to N400, 000 from the Farm Manager to be
dropped at Ijebu Ososa area. But no ransom was paid.
