[size=14pt]State Burial For Slain Corps Members[/size]
Friday, 29 April 2011


The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has confirmed that the nine serving corps members (CMs), all young men, who were killed by rioters in Bauchi State following the April 16 presidential election, will be given a national burial.

In adverts placed in national dailies and electronic media across the country, the NYSC lamented that CMs who had added credibility to the electoral process became targets of some disgruntled people who were not satisfied with the results of the elections.

The names of the deceased are:

Teidi Tosin Olawale (Osun State, BSc Computer Science)
Nkwazema Anslem Chukwunonyerem (Imo State, HND Electrical Electronic Engineering)
Okpokiri Obinna Michael (Abia State, BSc Environmental Management)
Adowei Elliot (Bayelsa State, BSc Computer Science)
Adewunmi Seun Paul (Ekiti State, BSc, Social Sciences).
Adeniji Kehinde Jehleel (Osun State, BSc Banking & Finance)
Gbenjo Ebenezer Ayotunde (Osun State, BSc, Education Economics)
Ukeoma Ikechukwu Chibuzor (Imo State, BSc Medical Microbiology)
Akonyi Ibrahim Sule (Kogi State, HND Business Administration).

The deceased are to be given national burials after the organisation has liaised with their parents. President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to be represented by governors of the states where the slain corps members hailed from.
