Kidnappers of 20 prospective National Youth Service Corps members have given parents a 24-hour ultimatum to pay a N1 billion ransom, amounting to N50 million per victim. The victims were abducted in two buses along the Owerri-Onitsha Road in Imo State last Thursday.

The Inspector-General of Police has deployed a Deputy Inspector General and Commissioners of Police to Imo State for a rescue operation.
