NYSC Corps Member Allegedly Assaulted by Teachers in Kwara State
A female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in Kwara State was reportedly assaulted by teachers at Government Day Junior Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin, for allegedly not greeting them properly.
The incident happened on Thursday, November 28, 2024, when the corps member visited the school to collect her clearance letter. According to eyewitnesses, a teacher attacked her, tearing her NYSC T-shirt, while another teacher allegedly slapped her during the confrontation.
Morakinyo Oladipo, the NYSC spokesperson in Kwara State, confirmed the incident. He assured that steps are being taken to seek justice for the corps member. The state government, through the Ministry of Youth, has been informed and is already involved in addressing the matter.
“The NYSC expresses its displeasure regarding the incident,” Oladipo said. “The corps member will be reposted to a different location to help her recover from the trauma.”
He added that investigations are ongoing and emphasized that legal action will be taken against the teachers involved. “The law will take its proper course against those who abused the corps member,” he stated.
The NYSC reaffirmed its commitment to protecting corps members and ensuring their safety while on national service.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
