The Management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has condemned in strong terms the assault on one of its members, Edema Elohor Jennifer (AN/24C/0626), in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The agency in a Statement on Tuesday, said preliminary findings revealed that operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Group forcefully entered a Corps Lodge in Oba, alleging the premises were being used for unlawful activities — a claim that remains unsubstantiated.
“During the incident, the operatives ordered all occupants to submit to a search, and in the process, physically assaulted Corps Member Jennifer, who was only on a visit to the lodge. The matter has since been formally reported to the police, and investigations are currently ongoing to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.” the statement added. (TVC)
