NANS condemns assault on NYSC members in Anambra, demands swift investigation

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has strongly condemned the recent assault on Corps member, Edema Elohor Jennifer, by operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Group in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

DAILY POST recalls that female corps members serving in Anambra State were assaulted by local vigilantes, with one of them, Edema Elohor Jennifer, severely brutalised.

Reacting in a statement on Tuesday night, the Public Relations Officer of NANS, Comrade Samson Adeyemi, described the action as not only unjustified but also a gross violation of the dignity, safety, and fundamental rights of a young Nigerian serving her nation under the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC scheme.

“It is deeply troubling that such brutality could be meted out to a corps member, an individual who has answered the national call to service and who deserves every protection and respect guaranteed under the law.

“The National Association of Nigerian Students considers this incident a dangerous affront to the ideals of national service, rule of law, and human rights.

“The increasing tendency of unregulated security outfits to act outside the bounds of legality and accountability is a matter of urgent national concern.”

NANS called on the Anambra State Government and all relevant authorities to investigate the incident thoroughly, ensure those responsible are held accountable, and take decisive steps to prevent a recurrence.

Adeyemi stressed that it was imperative for corps members across the country to feel safe and protected in their places of primary assignment and residence.

The association declared that it stands in solidarity with corps member Edema Elohor Jennifer and reiterated its unwavering commitment to defending the rights and welfare of Nigerian students and youths, even as it urged the NYSC and relevant security agencies to work collaboratively to ensure that the sanctity of Corps Lodges and the safety of corps members are never compromised again.
