The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has reacted to a viral video of a female corps member who was asked to kneel in school. The body said it is investigating the viral video which captured the corps member undergoing an embarassing punishment at her place of primary assignment. The video showed the young being punished for an offence which was not clearly explained. She was allegedly forced to kneel down by a school proprietress. According to the dialogue heard in the short footage, it seemed that the corps member was being punished for her failure to work. From the NYSC member’s claims in her native Yoruba dialect, she said she had alluded to menstruation symptoms. The proprietress argued that if she had explained, she would have understood because she is also a woman. The video however infuriated Nigerians who alleged a habit among employers of bullying corp members at their place of primary assignment (PPA).

“What effrontery” – Moment female corps member gives male student neck-twisting slap as he toasts her in school (Video)
A female Corps member was captured delivering a neck-twisting slap to a male student who approached her within the school premises and expressed his romantic feelings towards her. The incident occurred within the vicinity of an undisclosed school, where the female corps member was serving her mandatory NYSC assignment. In the video, the male student, donned in his school uniform, can be seen approaching the corper with an apparent intention to express his affection for her. However, the young man’s advances appeared to have caught the corps member off guard, and she responded with visible perplexity at his audacity to “toast” her (a colloquial term for expressing romantic interest). Without warning, the female corps member reacted with physical violence, delivering a forceful slap to the boy’s face, causing his head to twist to one side.

She became friends with Ada in camp, and they were inseparable. Everybody in our camp knows them as best friends. When I heard the news today, I was terrified. I just couldn’t believe it. I made a few calls to confirm, and alas! It did happen. It was reported that they drowned after their vehicle fell into a river. How it happened is beyond my comprehension, but God knows best.

In a new development, it has been reported that the seven corps members who were kidnapped were freed around Choba in Obio/Akpor local government area after a ransom was paid. “They were released around 9. I saw seven of them that were released, two girls and five boys. According to one of the parents that came there that day, they paid a ransom. They were in horrible condition. It was like they used mud in robbing them and if you see their body, maybe they were bitten by mosquitoes or sand-fly in the bush. They went to report themselves at the police station where it happened and they took their statement and tried to see if they could get their belongings”, a man who claimed to be an in-law of one of the abducted corps members said. The spokesperson of the command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko has also confirmed the release of the corps members during an interview with Channels TV. “I have just contacted the Rumuji Police Division.
