Corpers are not safe in the SW. Let me just stay in the SE then. . .

Sane Nigerians' (Including MySelf) Stands On Security Of Youth Corps Member Still Persist And Subsist, And Below Is An Extract:
'Instead of the Corps Members(Educated Illiterates and Misguided Miscreants) to unite with All Sane and Patriotic Nigerians and demand security for All Nigerians(Home and Abroad) from our misguided son-GEJ, they are busy fighting sectional interest that will not stand the test of time.'

Armed robbers on Monday night attacked some members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Ogun State. The ugly incident occurred at the corps members’ residence at Oluwo in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the State. Many of them sustained various injuries in the course of the bandits’ strike, while property such as money, laptops and phones were equally carted away. Some of the corps members who had participated as adhoc staff during the general elections lost their allowances to the bandits.

It was gathered that the building known as the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF) lodge accommodates about 40 youth corps members.

Following the incident, many of the victims yesterday trooped out into the streets in Abeokuta, the state capital to register their protest, accusing the police of not promptly rescuing them in the hands of the night marauders.

Corps members protest

The victims, who did not want their names in print, lamented to journalists that they would not have lost their property if the police had heeded to their distressed calls on time.

“When we called the police to come and rescue us during the attack, they did not come to our rescue on time, until after we had been robbed and wounded by the robbers,” said one of the victims.

A female victim while narrating her experience said she was almost raped by the robbers but for the intervention of the gang leader who stopped one of the robbers from the attempt.

Contacted on the incident, the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa Adejobi confirmed the incident but quickly exonerated his men from allegation of not responding on time.

“The NYSC could not point accusing finger to the police because if they had told the police, we would have given them some policemen,” the police image-maker said while urging corps members to always participate in community policing.

On the corps members’ reaction, Mr Adejobi said “the protest was uncalled for. The police in Adigbe did not know the lodge. Nobody knows the place as corpers’ lodge. The DPO could not locate the place. They should have let the police know the place and they would have been given special security.” He said.

Thank God nobody was killed. God help Nigeria.

I was also robbed in Bayelsa , The problem of NYSC is not about location , the problem is the program itself , IT SHOULD BE SCRAPED , SIMPLE

^^Scrapping NYSC doesn't stop them from robbing you.

But when you far away from home you more vulnerable , NYSC members are primary target(easy ones)

[b]Nigeria Policemen will always have an excuse to give, even when the truth/evidence has been established. When policemen caused an accident at the bridge at Berger, the then Lagos Police Public Relations officer Mr. Frank Mba, tried to exonerate the police that no road block was mounted. The police cannot help you rather seek for means to extort money from you. No policemen on road block can arrest any armed robber. It has been when the robbers kill any of their members that you can see them in action. Most policemen know where to get armed robbers because they meet with them where they smoke hard drugs. Most policemen smoke hard drugs and know most of these armed robbers and they dine and wine with them. Corpers lodge must have policemen or army attached to their residential places because they are serving the nation. These corpers robbed must be compensated by the Ogun State government because they are serving under their state and must be paid and looked after. Anybody on National assignment must be protected by the government. Look at what happened during the election. Instead of having problems like this, the national youth service should be stopped.[/b]

Scrap the shit and save us the headache!  

NYSC corp members are now the whipping boys/girls of every miscreants in society.

the policemen themselves look like someone in need of help, they have their terrible station in my area.   its an eyesore.
the corpers should thank their Gods they were nt  killed. this country is in hopeless situation, we need more than Goodlluck to rescue us.

Two important things are clear from the police PRO's reaction. The police need to be more conversant with their jurisdiction. 2, We need to properly number houses and come up with plans for even non-indigenes to find their way around. This is what happens everywhere else.

NYSC should be scrapped.

@tokotaya, what are you saying?. Police know what they are doing nah. If they are ready to work they know what to do. When robbers attacked Iyabo Obasanjo's convoy those days; OBJ gave them 24 hours to produce the criminals and they did. In, Nigeria security is for the top bidders.

I thought corpers were only attacked in the North. This is bad

“The NYSC could not point accusing finger to the police because if they had told the police, we would have given them some policemen,” the police image-maker said while urging corps members to always participate in community policing.

Even in ogun state, corpers are not safe anymore, how much do corpers ve that they are stealing from them? Thank God no life was lost.

corp members of all people? why for goodness sake?

wendieposh:

Scrap the poo and save us the headache!  

I can't shout enough.

Robbing business is no longer lucruative, robbers are starving, what do they expect to get from corp members? Khaki or 9500? Oh Inec money! lol

Just unfortunate. There is no security anywhere in Nigeria. Too bad, Corp members are now the victims. The attitude of the police is just a reflection of the I don't care attitude of many Nigerians, even in the face of danger. I hope that GEJ will work on enhancing the security situation in Nigeria.

Its not correct 4 d police 2 say they dont know Corpers lodge. With all the noise about protecting NYSC members after d attack in Bauchi d police has no better alibi 2 give for their failure. Its a national shame. The IG shd set example by identifying those whose duty schedule failed there. They shd be punished. Lets see action, otherwise nobody shd expect changes
