The 20 medical students, abducted on their way to Enugu State, were rescued in a coordinated operation led by the National Security Adviser's office. Similarly, all eight prospective corps members kidnapped on the Funtua-Gusua Road in Zamfara State were rescued, according to Major General Yusha'u Ahmed, Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
