A serving officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has reportedly been abducted by suspected terrorists in Ekiti State, with a disturbing video circulating online showing the victim being assaulted while in captivity.
The incident was brought to public attention by social commentator and activist Rinu Oduala, who raised concerns over what she described as a lack of visible rescue efforts days after the officer’s abduction.
In a post shared on social media, Oduala alleged that the officer was filmed by his captors during the assault and questioned the response of security agencies.
According to footage reviewed by reporters, armed men believed to be the abductors were seen forcing the officer to face forward while striking him repeatedly with a cane. The victim appeared visibly distressed, pleading with his captors to stop.
The exact location of the incident within Ekiti State and the circumstances leading to the abduction have not been officially confirmed as of press time.
There has been no formal statement from security authorities regarding the incident or any ongoing rescue operation. Meanwhile, the video has sparked concern among residents and online users, with calls for swift action to secure the officer’s release and address rising insecurity in the region.
