The National Youth Service Corps has vowed to release abducted Corps member, Abraham Amuta by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State seven months ago.

Director-General of NYSC, Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, gave this assurance on Thursday when he visited the family of the corps member in Jos, Plateau State where he said they are already working with security agents.

Abraham was deployed to Maiduguri, Borno State for his service year but was abducted by the Boko Haram in the third week of April 2019 when he reportedly went out for evangelism with a pastor from his church.

Ibrahim told the corps member’s parents, Daniel and Esther Amuta, that the NYSC management was “fully committed to the rescue of Abraham.

He said, “The scheme is working with relevant agencies to ensure that he is released unhurt and reunited with the family. We express hope in his eventual rescue and we assure the family that the scheme will continue to stand by you. (sic)”
