Battered Female Corp member seeks Justice.

She was beaten and had two of her teeth removed with a hammer by a fellow male corp member.

  The NYSC is yet to respond to the issue has also allegedly refused to issue her discharge certificate because she reported the matter to the police in Arochukwu,Abia state Nigeria.A move considered to be a bridge of the NYSC code of conduct.

The Nation reports that there is strong allegation that her assailant, Oluwabusiyi Adeola Bolarinde is already studying for his Master’s at the University of Ibadan, which could not have been possible if he didn’t produce his NYSC discharge certificate.

The victim miss Temitope Adedewe said the NYSC has not contacted her officially but she only got a call from a lady who gave her name as Benedict E.and also refused to reveal her official designation instead asked Temitope to come to Abuja to tell her own part of the story. Miss Adedewe said the lady told her they had visited the Abia State Zonal office in Umuahia and the venue of the incident in Arochukwu on a fact-finding mission. She said while there, they had asked Mrs. Akuma, one of the zonal office’s staff and a principal player in the issue to send for her and that she said all attempts to reach her from Umuahia had failed.Miss Adedewe said she was not contacted by anyone .

However, Mrs. Busayo Obisakin, facilitator of Women’s Inspiration Development (WID), the NGO that had originally taken up her case and petitioned the NYSC, advised her not to make any trip to Abuja but to insist on telling her side of the story on phone.


The victim said she was asked by the Abuja caller to stop media publicity of the matter. .
