NYSC corpers serving in Community Secondary School, Orsumoghu, in Ihiala Local Government of Anambra State were raided and robbed for 3hours from 12.30am to 2.30am on Monday July 15th with machetes and cutlasses by the village hoodlums in the area. The corpers where rob of their mobile phones, DVD players, shoes, clothes and most importantly, two female corpers were dragged to the bush and raped while some of the Male corpers sustained Machete injury.

A male corper victim interviewed by naijaparrot reporter says, the community is filled with dangerous and jobless youths who specialises in smoking indian hemp and also harassing serving corpers of their money.

The corpers also lamented about the insecurity of the corper’s lodge, as it is located in an isolated bushy area of the village whereas the principal and other teachers of the school all reside in Okija which is the nearest open and safest town to the village where the school is located.

The victim corpers commended the president general(PG), which is the head of the village for reporting the case to the police alongside principal of the school and also promising to bring the hoodlums to book, relocating the corpers to a safe house. The PG as he is popularly called has instructed the vigilante in the village to guide the corpers at night.

The corpers claimed, NYSC Area Inspector in the village, has shown little or no concern about the incident. He has neither called nor visited the corpers who were robbed and raped. One of the female corpers raped has ran back home for medical check up while the remaining corpers which are four boys and two girls are currently living together in fear in one classroom in Habbort Girls Secondary School close to the NYSC secretariat in the area.

The corpers claimed the Zonal Inspector is not aware of the Robbery and Rape Attack, as the nonchalant NYSC Area inspector has hidden the matter from him.
The corpers are calling on the NYSC Zonal inspector, NYSC state coordinator and of course the State Government to come to their rescue by providing them with a safe and secured place for them to finish their NYSC since the village is no longer safe for them.
