The National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) has reacted to the alleged killing of a corps member in Bayelsa State.
NYSC made the clarification
following the reported killing of one Samuel Collins by suspected cultists in Bayelsa.
It said the deceased was not a corps
member.
The statement said: “A search
through our records in Bayelsa State showed that no such name as Samuel Collins
appeared on the list of serving corps member
“For the avoidance of doubt, police
officers in the state have identified the deceased as staff of a Yenagoa-based
agency.
“While sympathizing with the
bereaved family, we take exception to the misrepresentation of facts in that
report, which is capable of sensationalizing the issue of safety and general
welfare of our corps members.
“Management urges corps members
serving in Bayelsa State as well as their parents and guardians to remain calm
as we remain committed to working with relevant stakeholders to ensure their
continued safety.”
