The Management of National Youth Service Corps NYSC has clarified the incident that involved Corps member who was brutalised for allegedly involved in misconduct of electoral act during this Presidential elections at Lugbe Area of Federal Capital Territory.

In a statement released by the Scheme Spokesman, Eddy Megwa on Sunday, stated that this story making the rounds on social media must be set in proper perspective, adding that the brutalisation of the Corps Member was a case of mistaken identity.



Indeed, a Corps Member deployed to LEA primary school, Lugbe as INEC ad-hoc staff was brutalised by angry mob on the suspicion that he was involved in the act of thumbprinting ballot papers in favour of one of the presidential aspirants.

“While the mistaken identity was made known after the investigation by the security agencies. In any case, the management of the scheme will not shield any Corps Member that runs foul of the electorial act if found guilty.

Adding that, “It is imperative to clarify that the Corps Member was not part of the criminal gang involved in the said act”, the management said.



Gratifyingly, the NYSC said further that culprits who are neither Corps Members nor officials of the National Youth Service Corps have been apprehended by the Police. “The brutalised Corps Member did not die as reported but recuperating after treatment at the hospital.

The Scheme therefore wished to call on Nigerians to exercise restraint on issues that concern Corps Members and other electorial officers on national assignment during the general elections.

Management admonished Corps Members participating in conduct of the general elections to ensure the highest degree of neutrality and discipline in their approach to the national assignment, as membership of the Corps cannot prevent them from prosecution if there is infraction to the Electoral Act.
