The Lagos State House of Assembly has urged relevant authorities and security agencies to take immediate action to secure the release of a prospective Corps Member, Binuyo Lateefah.
This followed a matter of urgent public importance raised by the Chairman of the House Committee on Women Affairs, Mrs Omolara Olumegbon, during Thursday’s plenary.
According to Olumegbon, the victim, a Mass Communication graduate from Kwara State Polytechnic, was abdùcted on January 22, 2026, around the Kogi axis while travelling to Taraba State for her National Youth Service Corps assignment.
Olumegbon said the abdúctors were demanding a ransom of N30m.
She urged the House to write to the Federal Government to strengthen security measures for the PCMs travelling to their various states of deployment.
She also called on the House to formally engage the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to intervene by liaising with the Kogi State Government to ensure the safe rescue of the victim.
In his contribution, lawmaker Noheem Adams lauded President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to improving the security of lives and property across the country, noting that the current security situation had shown significant improvement compared to previous administrations.
