Edema Jennifer: NYSC condemns assault on Corps Member in Anambra
The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has condemned what it described as the ridiculous assault on one of its corps members in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The agency said that its findings revealed that a group of operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Group forcefully entered a Corps Lodge in Oba, alleging that the place was being used for illegal activities which have not been substantiated.
According to the NYSC, the operatives demanded that every occupant of the lodge should submit themselves for a search.
Corps Member Edema Elohor Jennifer, AN/ 24C/0626 who was said to be on a visit to the lodge at the time, was assaulted by the vigilante operatives.
The NYSC said the matter has been reported to the police while investigations and other necessary actions are ongoing.
“Management wishes to restate it’s strong commitment to the welfare and security of its Corps Members nationwide, and would not condone any individual or group of persons that undermines the security of her Corps Members for whatsoever reasons.
“Additionally, Members of the public are enjoined to provide adequate security for our Corps Members in all their respective places of Primary Assignment and host communities,” a statement released by the NYSC management on Tuesday said.
