The alleged assault of a female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by teachers at the Government Day Junior Secondary School in the Kulende area of Ilorin, Kwara State, has raised significant concern.
According to reports from the Nigerian Tribune, the incident took place on Thursday, November 28, 2024, when the corps member went to the school to collect her clearance letter.
Eyewitnesses stated that the confrontation began when the corps member was accused of not greeting the teachers properly. The situation escalated when one teacher allegedly attacked her, tearing her NYSC white T-shirt, and another teacher joined in by slapping her.
The head of Information and Public Relations of the NYSC in Kwara State, Morakinyo Oladipo, who confirmed the incident, said that the scheme would seek redress for the attack against the corps member, adding that the state government has been briefed on the matter through the state ministry of Youth, the supervising ministry.
Oladipo added that the corps member would be reposted out of that vicinity, “at least to calm her down to help her overcome the trauma"
“It’s a fact. The story is true and we’re writing a rejoinder. All necessary steps have been taken to seek redress for the assaulted corps member,” the spokesperson said.
"The NYSC has formally informed the state government through the honourable commissioner, the state ministry of Youth, our supervisory ministry and the state government has swung into action immediately since the news broke out
“Presently, we’re in the orientation camp. All the necessary steps to seek redress for the corps member are being taken. The NYSC expresses its displeasure concerning the matter.”.
On likely punishment to be done to the teachers, he said that the law would take its proper course.
“We’re expecting investigation and proper action to be taken against the people that abused the corps member. The corps member that is on national assignment. Necessary steps will be taken to the extent that the law allows against such people that abused the female corps member,” he added.
