The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, management has withdrawn all corps members serving at the Government Day Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin East LGA, Kwara State. This is following the alleged assault on a serving female corps member at the school last week
IVNTVNEWS learned that about 10 corps members serving in both the junior and senior arms of the school were reportedly withdrawn on Monday by the Kwara State Directorate of the NYSC.
According to reports, the Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, visited the school on Monday. That was before he proceeded to inspect members of the 2024 Batch C, Stream 2, at the ongoing orientation course in Yikpata community, Edu Local Government Area of the State.
During his visit, the DG ordered that all corps members serving in the school be withdrawn temporarily to ensure their safety.
Speaking on the development, the Head of the Information and Public Relations Unit of the NYSC in the State, Mr. Oladipo Morakinyo, confirmed the development on Tuesday.
He noted that the DG ordered the withdrawal of corps members serving in both the junior and senior secondary schools.
Confirming the report, he said, “Yes, it is true that all NYSC members serving in the school have been withdrawn temporarily. Pending the outcome of the investigation by the panel set up by the government regarding the alleged assault on one of the corps members.
“Though the assaulted corps member serves in the junior school, we had to withdraw all corps members from the senior school as well. This is to protect them from potential attacks,” Morakinyo said.
Recall that the female corps member serving in the school was allegedly assaulted by some female teachers. They were said to have accused the corper of not greeting them properly last Thursday.
However, the Kwara State Government has condemned the act. And set up an investigation team to uncover the details of the incident.
Reacting to the assault, the State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, expressed disappointment with the actions of the teachers.
She noted that the State Government had strongly condemned the alleged assault on the youth corps member.
“The Kwara State Government condemns the recent alleged assault on a youth corper serving at Government Day Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin, by a teacher identified as Mrs. Amuzat Fatima Nike,” she said.
