News Brief: Anambra Corps Member Assault
A lawyer representing assaulted NYSC member, Jennifer Elobor, has alleged that local security operatives in Anambra State threatened to rape and kill her during the attack.
Cyrus Onu, the victim’s lawyer, said the operatives of Operation Udo Ga-Achi (Agunechemba Vigilante Group) stormed the corps members’ apartment in Oba community, accused them of being internet fraudsters, and violently dragged Elobor outside.
Onu revealed that when Elobor insisted they contact her Local Government Inspector before leaving with the operatives, she was beaten and threatened. The attackers reportedly told her: “We’ll rape you, kill you, and dump you, and nobody can say anything.”
The incident, captured in a viral video, showed the operatives beating Elobor and tearing her clothes. The Anambra State Government has since confirmed that the culprits were arrested and suspended, pending further disciplinary action.
However, Onu dismissed government claims that investigations were stalled due to the victim’s lack of cooperation, insisting the authorities were reluctant to prosecute. He said his clients have filed a petition demanding prosecution and compensatory damages against the perpetrators.
