He said the released corps members had been redeployed to the FCT and given proper medical attention while security agencies, traditional and religious leaders were synergising to secure the release of the remaining five.

“We are making efforts to see that we get the children out of captivity. From all the signs we are receiving, we are hopeful we will get them as soon as possible.

“We have full synergy between the agencies. All these things they work together. The only problem is information. Once information is out, we will have a seamless situation,” Ahmed said.

The DG, who presented a detailed report with pictorial evidence of his visits on the incident to different stakeholders in Zamfara State to the lawmakers added that the scheme places high priority on the security and welfare of all corps members.

In his remarks, the chairman, Esin lauded the director-general for honouring the committee’s invitation and also for his painstaking efforts in ensuring that the abducted corps members regain their freedom.

Esin promised the committee’s support on every legislative matters that would enable the scheme to consolidate on its achievement in the post-jubilee era.

He commended the DG for the scheme’s efforts towards re-opening the Borno State Orientation Camp for corps members after its long closure.
