VIDEO: Anambra Assaulted Corps Member Narrates Ordeals
According to her, she and her colleagues were indoors when they heard an aggressive knock on their door.
A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Jennifer Elohor, has narrated her distressing ordeal with the operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Group, who broke into her residence, assaulted her, and forcefully took her and her colleagues away.
Elohor, who recounted this in an interview with media personality Aprokoking, shared on Wednesday, said the incident occurred on July 13 around 5 p.m., at the lodge where she and other corps members were staying.
According to her, she and her colleagues were indoors when they heard an aggressive knock on their door.
“At first, we thought it was our neighbours’ door because it’s a three-storey building with several flats. But the knock became louder and more aggressive, so I decided to check. Before I could reach the door, it was kicked open,” she said.
PIJAlance has reported that Anambra State Government has arrested eight operatives of the vigilante group connected to the incident. The government has also subsequently dismissed them, following public outrage.
