NYSC Seeks Redress Over Attack on Female Corps Member in Kwara State
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kwara State has announced its intention to seek redress over the recent attack on a female serving corps member at Government Secondary School, Kul, Ilorin, the state capital, as reported by This Day.
The incident occurred last Thursday when the serving corps member was allegedly assaulted by one of the school's teachers, Mrs Amuzat Fatima, for allegedly refusing to greet her.
The altercation that ensued reportedly led to the tearing of the corps member's clothes, sparking widespread condemnation from the state government. Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo Kawu, described the act as unacceptable in Kwara State and society at large.
“The state is known for peace and harmony and the state government will not allow anything to truncate the existing peace in its academic institutions.
“The Anti-Loitering Team of the ministry and the management team of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission have paid an unscheduled visit to the school to investigate the alleged assault case and calm has been restored.”
However, the teacher, Mrs. Amuzat in a chat with journalists in Ilorin denied attacking the female corp member as being raised in certain quarters in the state.
According to her, “While the corper was passing by, I queried her on why she could not greet people. She responded by saying she greeted but people did not hear her and she walked away.
“Coming back, I called her, but she did not respond. I then asked what was wrong with her, saying, 'I spoke to you, but you did not respond'.
“Responding, she said, 'Don't abuse me, if you abuse me, I will abuse you.' And I didn't abuse her.
“She claimed I called her a bastard. I refuted it. I told her I didn't call her bastard. She pushed me and I fell to the ground. If I knew the gravity of the offence, I would have recorded the video of the incident on Thursday.”
But, the Head of Information and Public Relations of NYSC in the State, Mr. Morakinyo Oladipo in a chat with journalists in Ilorin confirmed the attack on the female serving corper in the state.
He, however said, “NYSC would seek redress on the alleged attack against the corper.”
