A mother of one of the freed members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says she paid N6 million ransom to secure her son's release. The prospective corps members were abducted on October 1 after gunmen attacked two 18-seater buses travelling from Ibadan, Oyo State, along the Owerri-Onitsha expressway.

She recounted that the kidnappers later reduced the demand to N15 million and then insisted on N6 million, which she paid.
