When such a thing happened in my camp the security agents were asked to leave the camp immediately. They only beat up a corper though he didn't faint,fellow forpers protested and they were sent out of camp immediately. This ones are really otondos they should have protested. Security agents are not allowed to maltreat corpers its an offence

AncientJerk:
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?


we don't live to survive in our own country when we r not refugees..if u don't want us to enjoy our father land, then u have to be cut off...e.g: Hausa soldiers..GET READY FOR WAR!

Maybe he wasn't well oriented on camp rules. He's a graduate so I assume he's learned. When the soldiers refused him passage, he should have easily called the attention of the camp co-ordinator who's the next thing to his father/mother there. Use the officials to get what u want so long as its legit. Not confronting those illeterate standard six holders in army uniforms.

Little wonder I was nick-named "exceptional corper" in those days!

Intending corp members should learn from this!

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
Those security guys must be dealt with.
Meanwhile you communicated well in English, therefore based on your conclusion above, you must be English.

Very very silly boy.

1. He could have gotten a tag from the clinic, or begged a clinic officer to help/follow him to mammy.

2. Except its the commandant or state coordinator that instructs you, no personnel will allow you go to the mammy during lectures, you are only allowed to leave the lecture hall if you are on duty, not even to go to mammy.

3. Why did he not buy the food before lectures, and keep it till he is ready? This is simple wisdom.

Although the military officers acted rashly, I cannot really blame them, a lot of corps members are tricky, they cook up flimsy excuses of which the 'sick' excuse is the most abused.

I would have been infuriated if they had laid hands on him, but they didn't. Punishment on camp is a normal thing, whether in a goats pen or a urinary.

However, all I can say to bunmi is SORRY, next time be smarter.

The military man can never be court marshalled for doing his job, even if the boy had died, he was acting on orders.

Camp life is regimented, whether you like it or not.

Many of the persons making sentimental comments here have not been to NYSC camp grounds.

Its a world on its own, where just like war, all is fair.



it is people like u dat makes these Hausa men feel like gods in nysc camp

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.

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.

I blame the corps members, please ask anybody that served in osun state in 2011 what happen in camp, a guy was maltreated to the point that he collapse, the violence that emanated aftermath could not be described. All the corps members vow to avoid or partook in any activities in the camp which they did for the remaining weeks. They even beat a policeman..

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?
