A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Rofiat Lawal, has regained her freedom after being kidnapped along the Benin-Ore Expressway on Tuesday.
Lawal, who was traveling from Benin, Edo State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, where she was set to resume her primary assignment, was held captive by the abductors until her family paid a ransom of N1.1 million.
The incident occurred as Lawal was on her way to begin her service year, but she is now safely back with her family following the payment. Authorities are yet to make any arrests in connection with the kidnapping.
