OUTCOME OF MEETING WITH NYSC DG OVER HARASSED CORPS MEMBER AND DECAMPED CAMP COMMANDANT

With respect to the case of a female Corps member who was harassed by Captain Abalaba in Benue State, the NYSC Director General (DG); Brigadier General Johnson Bamidele Olawunmi scheduled a meeting with the National Executives of the Muslim Corpers' Association of Nigeria (MCAN) in Abuja to discuss the issue in detail.

In the meeting, the DG sincerely apologised to the female Corps member who was harassed and the entire Muslim family within and outside the country. He added that the action of the ex-CC and likes is highly condemnable if done to anyone, irrespective of their religious, ethnic or tribal background. He reemphasised his displeasure over the action of the ex-Benue State Camp Commandant (CC); Captain Abalaba, who was immediately decamped as directed by the DG. He further stated that a committee has been set up to fully investigate the issue, afterwards the ex-CC shall face further punishment and as such he would have nothing to do with NYSC subsequently.

He also assured MCAN that a committee will be set up as soon as possible to provide a long lasting solution to the Molestation and Harassment of Corps members on religious grounds. The said committee will include at least an MCAN executive to guide NYSC on the issue at hand. As a caring father, he showed a positive interest towards supporting MCAN in achieving a better Nigeria and peaceful youth coexistence within the country irrespective of any differences

The president of the association; Abdullah Imam Ishaq presented some gift items to the DG on behalf of the entire Muslim Corps Members in the country.



We advise all Corps Members to be respectful, obedient, tolerant, prayerful and above all, report any provoking issue(s) to the rightful bodies in order to prevent any form of regrettable violence.



We appreciate the level of orderliness exhibited by corps members and Nigerians in regards to the issue at hand.

Thank you all



Special Appreciation to :

Almighty ALLAH

NYSC Director General,
All the Numerous Muslim and Non-Muslim Organisations that showed love,
Prominent figures and individuals who equally called to show support,
And those who acted without our awareness.
