Update 1-The Missing National Youth Service Corp, NYSC member in Bauchi, Ukeoma Ikechukwu has being confirmed killed. A facebook posting by 'Hope for Nigeria' said he was  killed by Buhari/Bakare supporters. The Bauchi state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Amana Abakasanga, in a similar development had confirmed the death of 4 corps members and added that 26 out of 51 corps members posted to Jammare, Giade, Misau, Azare, Dambam and Itas Gadu areas were rescued by the police and another 20 still missing.

elombah.com join the calls appealing to the Bauchi state government, NYSC secretariat, the Police and all relevant Agencies and Authorities, to do a proper audit of the Corps member serving in the Bauchi state and ensure adequate security for the surviving ones. For those of them that might chose to leave the state to safer towns, adequate provisions should be for their transportation, clothings and other basics, as most of them have lost all their properties to the hoodlums.

 

Nigerians cry out: It is a Shame!

Mr. Ukeoma Ikechukwu was on election duty in Bauchi state and has not been seen or heard from since Sunday evening. His last phone calls were the calls of someone in distress and his last facebook page post might just give a clue as to why this is the case:

Ukeoma Aik favour: "Na wao! This CPC supporters would hv killed me yesterday, no see threat oooo. Even after forcing underaged voters on me they wanted me to give them the remaining ballot paper to thumb print. Thank God for the police and am happy i could stand for God and my nation. To all corps members who stood despite these threats esp. In the north bravo! Nigeria! Our change has come." 

 

The death of Ukeoma Ikechukwu has intensified calls for all NYSC Staff to be wthdrawn from Northern Nigeria.

A concerned Nigerian, Dominic Ogbonna said: "Nobody should sent NYSC kids to officiate elections in CPC taliban strong-holds! If a party other than CPC wins in a pooling unit, how is the NYSC kid going to declare it, with CPC craze-nuts watching? If you are a parent, or if a family member is serving in Kano or Kaduna or Jigawa or any of the places where Buhari's supporters are lynching and roasting their fellow citizens, please fly them home to safety! Buhari can send Bakare and Rotimi Fashakin to officiate elections". 

 

The Independent Electoral Commission, INEC has postponed governorship and state assembly elections in Bauchi and Kaduna States to 28 of this month .

Attahiru Jega, chief of Nigeria's Independent Election Commission, said that polls cannot go ahead as scheduled Tuesday in the states of Kaduna and Bauchi because of security concerns, and that the votes will be delayed there by two days.

The two predominantly Muslim northern states that have been wracked by deadly riots and retaliatory violence since the presidential election was won by Jonathan Goodluck from the country's south-south. 

  

UPDATE:

Latest report indicate Ikechukwu ukeoma was Killed in a bauchi police station where he was taking refuge with other youth corpers while serving his country. elombah.com was told that a lady, a medical doctor said that during her Church's Prayer Meeting a few days ago, a member of the Church received a phone call from his brother who is serving in Bauchi and worked with INEC as a polling official during the Presidential Election.

 

That he and six other Corpers were being pursued by an irate mob and they were running to seek refude in a nearby Police Station and that prayer should be rendered for their safety. Sometime later, the brother called the Bauchi Corper again but this time a male voice picked the call and started raining abuses on him. Days later he confirmed that his brother, Ikechukwu and the other six corpers were killed by the mob which over-ran the Police Station!!

 

Continuing he said many Youth Corpers are now being targeted for lynching as they are seen as those who denied Buhari of Electoral victory. In the case of the young man (Ikechukwu Ukeoma) whose death was just described, he said his that on the day of the Presidential Election Ikechukwu prevented some under-age registered "voters" from voting and that attracted the ire of some adult voters in the polling unit. They demanded he hand over the unused ballot papers to them but he refused. He was almost lynched but for the prompt intervention of the Policemen attached to his polling centre who escorted him to the INEC office. He then became a target for attack.

That Youth Corper Was Ikechukwu Ukeoma, he died while faithfully discharging his duty to his fatherland!! 

The NYSC program was established under Decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973. Among its goals according to the decree is to promote ties among Nigerian youths aimed at further enhancing national unity, tolerance and understanding. Upon graduation from higher institutions of learning in Nigeria, the graduates are sent to states in Nigeria to serve a mandatory Youth Service Corps program for one year. Over the years the program was extended to Nigerian students graduating from foreign institutions. 

Recently many Youth Corp members were slaughtered in Jos following the sectarian riots in the city. Many of the Youth Corp members are being killed by hooligans following the recent presidential election as reprisals for the loss of their presidential candidate.

And this fundamentalist party w
ould come on the press and scream the election was rigged the evidence of this young man even shows that this election even up to attacking him and killing him in a police station! You would be remembered as one of the heros of our democracy, Even in death he exposed those who really rigged the presidential election !! We the people are waiting for CPC to show their own evidence in court!!
Bad loser buhari wants to use violence to impose him self on the so called nigerian state like he did in 1983 coup plotter

^^^Cheers bruh. But there's no danger of that happening- i'm not that desperate.

So it's a 'spambot' is it? Kinda reminds me of a 'fembot' on Futurama- i've a picture in my head of a female robot churning out all these annoying posts hoping to snag a 'human' date.
