According to a message posted by popular content creator Agbakwara on Wednesday, the corps member was kidnapped while traveling from Benin to Ibadan to resume at her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) in Ogbomoso.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Tuesday, and the kidnappers are demanding a N20 million ransom for her release. It was also learned that the case has been reported to the management of the NYSC in Oyo State, but there has been no response yet.
According to her friend, who did not disclose their name or identity, they are seeking the support of Nigerians in every way possible to secure her release.
The message reads, “My close friend Lawal Rofiat Kofoworola Lawal Rofiat Ewatomi was kidnapped on her way from Benin to Ibadan to resume at her PPA in Ogbomosho. She managed to call yesterday and told me she was inside an Ore-bound bus when she was taken.
“This is someone who has struggled all her life, supporting herself through university by working at Dufil company in Benin. Now, kidnappers are demanding ₦20 million, and we don’t know what to do. Her parents are less privileged and can’t afford this.
“I have reported to the NYSC Secretariat in Ibadan and dropped her call-up number, but there has been no response. We are exhausted and desperate for help!
“Please, Nigerians, I need your support. If there is any way you can assist by spreading this message, reaching the authorities, or any help at all please do. She has been my close friend since my 100 level, and I haven’t been myself since this happened.”
The post has generated a lot of mixed reactions on social media as netizens continue praying for her safe return.
All efforts to get reactions from the Oyo State NYSC and the kidnapped corps member’s family proved abortive as of press time.
