EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, the NYSC described the incident as “unacceptable and dehumanising,” stressing that no circumstance could justify such treatment of a corps member.
The scheme assured the public that it fully supports the ongoing investigation by the Nigeria Police Force to uncover the circumstances surrounding the assault and to ensure justice for the victim and other aggrieved parties.
“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.
The NYSC further disclosed that administrative measures have been activated to provide both physiological and psychological support to the affected corps member. It reiterated its commitment to prioritising the welfare and security of all corps members nationwide.
