On October 1, gunmen attacked buses near Umunoha in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State and abducted prospective corps members traveling to an NYSC orientation camp. Six days later, 20 of the abducted individuals were rescued. The incident has raised concerns about safety on Nigerian roads and is becoming a political issue ahead of the 2027 elections.
