Twenty prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who were kidnapped while travelling to their orientation camps arrive in Ibadan, Oyo State, where they are taken to the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters. The reports say they are debriefed after being brought in following their rescue.

Outlets describe the rescue as occurring in connection with an incident that begins in Imo State, with security operatives—reported as including the military, police and the DSS—recovering the corps members. The articles also note that the group includes the prospective corps members and that one other person is mentioned in the rescue account. After arrival, the prospective NYSC members are processed at the DSS facility in Ibadan.
