The corps members, comprising 36 males and 38 females, were rescued around 9:05 p.m. on Tuesday after their vehicles broke down near a known kidnapping hotspot.
According to a statement by the Media Information Officer, Joint Task Force North East Operation Hadin Kai, Sani Uba, a military patrol team was swiftly deployed after a CCTV system monitored by troops detected suspicious movement involving three buses at the location.
“On arrival, troops discovered 74 NYSC members stranded after their vehicles developed mechanical faults. The troops immediately rescued them to prevent a likely abduction attempt by Boko Haram or ISWAP elements operating in the area,” the statement said.
The rescued corps members are currently being accommodated at the Buratai military base pending further arrangements for their safe movement.
