The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has confirmed the death of one of its members, Igbere TV reports.

The NYSC, however, debunked a report that 16 members of the scheme were abducted.

In a statement issued on its official Twitter handle on Wednesday, the NYSC said an attack did happen and was carried out by armed robbers against 17 corps members who just completed the orientation programme in Osun State and were heading to the north.

“The true position is that, indeed, 17 corps members that completed the 2020 Batch “B” Stream 1B Orientation programme at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ede, Osun State, on Tuesday, December 22, 2020, boarded vehicles heading towards the northern part of the country,” the statement said.

“Tragically, along Jere-Abuja Expressway, they were accosted by a gang of armed robbers whose sporadic gunshots unfortunately felled corps member Bomoi Suleiman Yusuf.

“It is imperative to state that the 16 other corps members were never abducted.”

Commiserating with the family of the deceased, the NYSC said “the death of any corps member is a big loss, not just to his family, but to the scheme and the entire nation at large.”

This government is not serious, have they made any provision for corpers that die before completing their service to complete it in heaven or hell? Go to heaven and hell, you will see other countries making provision for their citizens to complete their school or youth service if they didn't complete it on earth but Nigerians are on their own.

It is high time the youths started disobeying the clarion call.

Somebody will just be dying for no reason, people who didn't create life, taking life.

NYSC should be suspended till the nation is secured. Better still, allow people to serve in their various states for now. There is coronavirus, banditry and all manner of things on our roads, this shouldn't be a rocket science for those in charge to understand. But then, those benefiting from it won't let that happen.
