Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has called for the immediate and safe rescue of about 20 prospective members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) reportedly abducted while travelling to their orientation camp. In a post on his official social media page on Sunday, Obi described the abduction as another indication of worsening insecurity in the country, warning that Nigerians should not accept insecurity as a normal part of everyday life. The former Anambra State governor said the victims were young Nigerians travelling to serve their country but were unable to complete their journey safely because of insecurity on the nation's roads. He added that the incident had heightened anxiety among families whose loved ones travel across the country for work, education and national assignments.
