The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says it has secured the release of two females among the abducted Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) who were kidnapped in Zamfara on their way to orientation camp in Sokoto.

The Director, Press and Public Relations, Mr Eddy Megwa, disclosed this in a statement yesterday in Abuja.
It will be recalled that eight PCMs and the bus driver were abducted in August in Zamfara by gunmen on their way from Uyo, Akwa Ibom, to Sokoto.

They were going for the one-year national service. According to Megwa, this will make the number of released members to four, out of
the eight PCMs and the driver abducted.
