The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF) has decried the abduction of some civil servants around Kabba, Kogi State.
The affected officers were reportedly travelling to Abuja to take part in the ongoing Computer-Based Test (CBT) promotion examinations conducted by the Federal Civil Service Commission.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), Didi Walson-Jack, said this in a statement issued by her office on Wednesday.
In the statement signed by Eno Olotu, the Director of Information in the HOCSF office in Abuja, she described the incident as distressing and unfortunate.
Walson-Jack expressed sympathy with the abducted officers, their families, and colleagues across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
“Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. We join all well-meaning Nigerians in praying for their safe and speedy release,” she said.
Walson-Jack expressed confidence in the ability of security agencies to ensure the safe rescue of the abducted officers.
She also urged the civil servants and the general public to remain calm and vigilant, reaffirming the Federal Civil Service’s commitment to the welfare and safety of its workforce.
She added: “We stand together as one Civil Service family, united in faith, hope, and solidarity, praying earnestly for the safe return of our colleagues.
“Their safety and well-being remain our utmost priority.”
