Armed men have abducted a National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member from a commercial vehicle along the Katsina-Ala–Takum road, Benue State. It was gathered that the incident occurred over the weekend when the Toyota Carina II, with registration number KLD 108 AA, was heading to Katsina-Ala from Takum, Taraba State, with seven passengers onboard. The gunmen blocked the road at Tsede Village, which lies on the boundary between Katsina-Ala and Takum, robbed the occupants, and whisked away the NYSC member later identified as Saadu Dauda from Zamfara State. His identity was confirmed through a corps member ID card found in his bag left in the vehicle. Security operatives have launched a coordinated operation to track the assailants and rescue the victim.
