ok first of all, i don't see how he almost lost his life here??

the actions taken by the security personnel were totally unacceptable, however this boy certainly did not act wit wisdom. the name of the game is survival. knowing that the security guys were refusing to buy his story why didn't he just return to the lecture hall to explain to the lecturer? and if the lecturer too refused to listen would it not have been better to wait a little in the lecture hall and to wait for three hours in the "guard room"?

you've got to think survival in a country like Nigeria

also i would think there should probably be something like a medical pass or so that would grant temporary exemptions to unwell individuals?
your post is as mumuish as your self....just keep shut if you don't know what to say

Read excerpts below:
“To all my fellow NYSC corp members around Nigeria, today, I witnessed how one of my colleagues, Adeyera Olubunmi (State code: NS/15A/0134)(Call-up no.: NYSC/NIJ/2015/061287) almost died due to maltreatment in Nasarawa state NYSC camp by security officials.

What happened this morning was that Bunmi Adeyera who is also Platoon 4 leader and was obviously sick went to the Camp clinic to collect some drugs to combat his ailment and was approaching the camp market to get food (since food was no longer available in the camp kitchen) in order to use his drugs when he was stopped by security operatives (Nigerian Police force and Man’O War) and was asked to go back into the camp hall for lectures.
How NYSC Corp Member Almost Lost His Life To Torture At Camp
He tried explaining to them that he was sick and needed to take his drugs but they did not listen to him, rather he was told to start ‘frog-jumping’.Bunmi quietly explained to them that he might not be able to ‘frog-jump’ because of his health status.

The next thing I saw was that the security operatives (who were obviously Hausas, because they communicated fluently in Hausa language) told asked him if he was Hausa or Yoruba. When he told them he was Yoruba and he hails from Lagos state, they seized his NYSC identification tag and marched him straight to the ‘Guard room’ allegations of ‘being stubborn’ without giving him any chance of speaking in his own defense.


This place called Guard room is a bathroom located at the entrance gate of the Nasarawa Camp where soldiers urinate at all time and with no cross-ventilation.

We all watched them take the poor sick Corp member to the Guard Room, and was detained there going to three hours. The next thing I saw was people from the camp medical unit running towards the gate with stretcher in their hands.

Behold Bunmi had collapsed and fainted in the so-called guard room.
Even while the Red Cross team was trying to rescue the situation, the soldiers sent them back saying that all was pretence and that when he wakes up, he will return to the guard room.
The doctors battled for his life for about an hour before Bunmi Adeyera became conscious again and was later stabilized.

Every Corp member on Camp including NYSC officials know Bunmi to be easy-going, obedient and friend to all which is more reason he emerged the leader of Platoon 4.
The population of those who went to the clinic to check on him is one that I have never seen on camp although they wouldn’t allow us take pictures of this ugly incident

But my question is this why is it that we Corp members who have in good faith and humility come to serve our father land are being maltreated even to the extent of someone fainting. This should not continue. All these security agents should be careful in performing their duties and should remember that the pen is powerful than the sword…”

Bunmi Adeyera is a graduate of mass communication from The Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Ogba, Lagos state. All attempts to reach the Nasarawa state co-ordinator, Mrs. C.I Uba, proved abortive.

They are totally scared, so that they will not post them to the interior village. but news flash, Nasarawa na village. even the state capital. the only difference between the capital and the hamlet in that state is network.

but I thought yorubas and hausas have a good working relationship. abi na slavery relationship. anyway, thank God he didn't die. but that camp must be full of lily livered guys. in my time, we drove away our camp commandant for his brutality. he had no choice than to run away by 2am when the riot got very hot. @dutsinma camp, katsina, 2005 batch B.

Maybe the guy was stubborn and trying to form gara-gara in front of the soldiers and now his friend is here trying to play victim for him. By the way, on the part of the soldiers who spoke hausa, why did they resort to torture him after he said he was yoruba? I thought that since after the elections, the Hausas and yorubas became good friends? Abi the friendship no work again?
lol...very hilarious! I agree with ur point, maybe he was tryna play gra-gra. That said, on Yoruba's and Hausas, I don't knw what 2 say...

NYSC has never had any better DG than Brigadier I.M TSIGA (2009 and may be till 2011). May God bless this fine officer now retired.

Corpers welfare and security was top on his priority. I remember him calling out his phone number on parade ground to us in 2009, to report any act of molestation from any soldier or police to the Nigerian corper directly to him and like he promised, his line was regularly on with no P.A on phone calls to answer his calls. He championed the increament of corpers allowee from the measly 9,700 to what it is now.

Those soldiers and police for hear am now, if it were TSIGA.

This is what he had to say when asked about the worst moment of his career

"As a matter of fact, my worst moment was at the peak of my career, during my time as the DG of the NYSC. It was a moment in my life which I will never forget.
That period, many young and vibrant youths who held high hopes for this nation, and were serving the nation in joy and fulfillment, were gruesomely murdered while working as adhoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during elections.
The attack and, in some cases, cold-blooded murder of some corps members during the 2011 election was the worst moment of my career. It is one moment I will never forget in a hurry, one in which promising youths giving selfless service were innocently attacked and murdered"

What a fine Officer he is, to have spoken so noble of the Nigerian Corper @bolded

God bless TSIGA. I enjoyed service 2009, felt like an untouchable federal pikin by soldiers and police alike. I was arrested by unscrupulous police officers on usual evening raid and after my espirit de corp salutation (lol) and identification as a Corper was blushed aside. I called Tsiga who demanded to speak with them. I didn't know what he told them in just 10 seconds and i was freed with the speed of light and dropped with the same police van.

Abeg make una sorry for my long narration. I just dey pour out my emotion how i like that man. The first Director General who did NYSC
