Nigeria - The National Youth Service Corps has announced that a youth corps member was killed during the violence that characterized the recent National Assembly election rerun in Rivers state.
According to a statement by the body, Okonta Samuel, with call-up number RV/15B/5539, was shot dead by unknown gunmen in Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state. He served at GCSS Ukpeliede.
“The murder of this patriotic young man, who was an orphan, is primitive, barbaric, and ungodly; and should be strongly condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians.
“The NYSC shall work with relevant agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of this heinous act are fished out and made to face the full wrath of the law.
“We consider Okonta Samuel’s death as a great loss, not only to his immediate family, but also to all of us in the NYSC family and the entire nation.
