The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Wednesday condemned the assault of a female Corps Member by operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Group in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, describing the action unacceptable and dehumanising,”
The Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, who stated this in the statement issued on Wednesday, 20 August, 2025 , said that no justification could warrant such treatment of a Corps Member.
“Management wishes to assure the general public that it believes in, and supports the ongoing investigation by the Nigeria Police Force towards unravelling what transpired. This we trust will help get justice for the Corps Member in question and any other aggrieved party,” the statement read.
Embu disclosed in the statement that administrative steps were being taken to provide both physiological and psychological support to the affected Corps Member, while restating its commitment to the welfare and security of all Corps Members nationwide.
