This was revealed in a post shared on the popular social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

As the news circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the post’s comment section to express their thoughts and fears about the incident.
See some reactions below:
@PortableAyo: “They shouldn’t scrap it. There should be an official bus which will travel conveying the corpers to their states in batches with escort. As na them wan post people far from where they stay. They should stop risking lives with this nonsense called NYSC. Lori 33K? Mtchewww.”
@thatakwaibomguy: “It lines the pocket of many, scrapping it won’t even work – I think the program has lost the aim it was meant for. It’s just a rite of passage right now.”
@Smallnimi_NF: “This is sad. But will scraping NYSC stop the kidnappings or the insecurities in Nigeria? Nah only Corp members dem dey kidnap? Make everybody dey serve for im state of residence! Maybe that would ease things.”
@Asiwajulhannie: “I was thinking to myself about how people will be posted to east and northern part of this country with all the insecurity on the road….kidnap is just inevitable.”
@NurdeanO: “Na only NYSC people dem dey kidnap? Answer that first before we go into the argument.”
@CEORECIPES1: “The black man’s mind is interesting. Kill 99 out of 100 of them. The last one standing will embrace you for sparing his life and keep shouting “I reject it, it’s not my portion, God will not allow it…” instead of preparing for the inevitable……WAR.”
@Xstream_ist: “Our leaders have failed us simple and short. Imagine them telling parents to be ready to pay ransom if their child is kidnapped on his to serve his country oo. I don’t know what we are still waiting for before we go after these leaders in government.”
