Four kidnapped Directors regain freedom, ASCSN speaks

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has commended security agencies for securing the release of four abducted Directors of the Federal Ministry of Defence.

ASCSN President, Shehu Mohammed, said this in a statement he signed with the Secretary-General, Joshua Apebo, on Friday in Abuja.

The Directors were kidnapped on November 10, 2025 while travelling on the Kabba-Lokoja Highway to Abuja for promotion examinations.

The ASCSN said that four of the six victims had regained freedom and were undergoing medical checks.

The union identified those rescued as Helen Ezeakor, C. A. Ladoye, Ngozi Ibeziakor, and Essien Catherine, while Emeribe C.A. and Onwuzurike J.A. are still with their abductors.
