Here's a bizarre email I got from a batch A Corp member serving in
Victory Model College, Efodo - Okpo, Olamaboro L.G.A of Kogi State. The mail below and the threat written on a blackboard above
It's no good news to hear that NYSC Corp Members are treated with
discontentment in Kogi State, especially in remote local government like
Olamaboro.
There have been cases of some drunk youths ganging up to launch attack
on corpers at their capital project sites, accusing them of integrating
strange norms into their culture
Let me go straight to what I witnessed this morning. I woke up this morning like every other boring mornings in the
village where I serve, dressed up, and went to the school. On arrival,
all the students were gathered at one corner looking at me and the other
Corp members, some with satisfaction, while others with pity.
On getting to the class rooms, we saw some write-ups directly warning me
and other three(3) batch A Corp members. The pictures attached to this
email will help tell the story better (even with the wrong English). Continue...
As am writing this report, four(4) of us (batch A) and two (2) other
batch C corpers are on hide out, praying God to intervene on the issue.
Batch A passing out parade (POP) comes up on the 13th of February,
and the question is why would people whose lives we have impacted for
close to one year decide to reward us with death threats?
