Five persons have been arrested in connection with the abduction of
the three National Youths Service Corps, NYSC members, who regained
their freedom on Sunday, according to the Rivers State Police
Commissioner; Mr Joseph Mbu.
Speaking, yesterday, at the Police
headquarters, Port Harcourt, Mbu said corps members serving in Ogolokon
community, where the three corps members were taken hostage had been
relocated to Ominima still in Abua Odua Local Government Area, adding
that the Police took the action because of the vulnerable nature of the
lodge.
"The lodge, close to mangrove water is too vulnerable for
attacks," Mbu said, adding that security of the occupants should have
been considered in the location of a residential quarters for corps
members.
Meantime, security operatives in Rivers State have been
urged to take steps to guarantee the security of lives and property in
the state.
