Borno state coordinator of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Alhaji Rabiu Katsina; has been rattled with sleepless nights, since the abduction of Abraham Amatur along Chibok-Damboa road. Amatur was abducted along with a Pastor of Living Faith Church, Maiduguri by Boko Haram insurgents on April 10, 2019. His words: “I hardly sleep, since I received the shocking abduction report of a serving corps member, Batch ‘B’ in Borno by suspected Boko haram terrorists on April 10, 2019. “Even the letter sent by the Living Faith Church, Maiduguri to inform us; also indicated that Abraham Amatur was kidnapped along with three other church members.” He said the letter also revealed that they were on their way to Chibok town to delivered relief items to people when they were forcefully taken away by terrorists. He lamented that since the incident, the entire NYSC in Borno has been having sleepless nights. “I am concern about the safety of the missing corps member,” he said. On how Amatur was kidnapped, he said: “Last week when I came back from Abuja, we received a letter from the Living Faith Chucrh in Bulunkutu that one of our corps member in person of Mr. Abraham was kidnapped alongside with other church members while going to Chibok to delivered relief materials. “The corps member went on his own without our knowledge; because of the concern we have, upon receipt of letter, we wrote firstly to DG NYSC and then to the three security formations of Police, DSS and Army.” Continuing, he added: “I have been having sleepless night over this issue, because the boy was put under my custody and I can’t just sleep; since the kidnap of Amatur. “I am worried and so concern about his safety. Even though he didn’t inform us about the journey as a parent and state coordinator; I am so concerned.” On rescue of corps member, he said: “Yes sir, we believed that the police and security agencies will do their best to rescue him and others abductees. “They assured us of doing their best to rescue our abducted corps member and others abductees in Boko Haram captivity. “We have called the next of kin and already consoled them, with the assurance that both NYSC headquarter and state office is doing their best; and still waiting for the next information from security agencies and abductors.”
