The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kwara State has rescued a 400-Level English Education undergraduate of Kogi State University, Anyingba.

ROYAL NEWS gathered that the 19 year-old victim, Fauziyah Muhammed was reportedly kidnapped by ritualists.

It was gathered from the NSCDC officials that Fauziyah was hypnotised in Kogi but was later dumped in Ilorin, the state capital.

When interrogated, Fauziyah said she did not know how she got to Kwara State from Kigi State, but recalled: “one of the books I carried dropped and as I made to pick it, I lost consciousness.”

Speaking with journalists on Monday, the state commandant of the NSCDC, Dr. Umar Muhammed, said that the kidnap victim was discovered by residents of Ajegunle-Isale community on Egbejila road in Ilorin.

The commandant, who said that victim was wandering about the community naked, added that, “the residents seized and handed her over to NSCDC officer, Afolayan.

He said that Fauziyah was no longer coherent in speech, which he attributed to horrible experiences while with the kidnappers.

“We, as a command, have tried to comfort her with clothings as well as briefed the governor of her plight.

“Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has promised to assist us with fuel to return her to Kogi tomorrow”, he said.
