Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
On Saturday, the National Youth Service Corps held a moment of silence in honor of Eunice Igweike, a corps member who was reportedly slain while traveling to the NYSC orientation camp in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The Federal Polytechnic in Oko, Anambra State, graduate Igweike, a member of the 2022 Batch B corps.
Security authorities were working around the clock to determine the circumstances behind Igweike’s death, according to a statement from the NYSC Director (Press and Public Relations), Eddy Megwa.
He claimed that a website doing the rounds on social media caught the management of the NYSC’s notice.
To put the concerns raised into proper perspective, Megwa said, “The scheme did lose a potential corps member by the name of Miss Eunice Chioma Igweike, who left for the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Sagamu, Ogun State, having been deployed to the state for the national service under the 2022 Batch B service year.”
“A call by her elder brother to the NYSC on July 20, 2022 reporting that he had not been able to reach her sister on phone since her departure to NYSC Ogun camp from Aba, Abia State, prompted the scheme to contact the security agencies to know her whereabouts. Sadly, on Thursday, July 21 2022, her remains which were intact, and not mutilated as reported in the media, were recovered along Sagamu-Imota Road and deposited in the morgue.
“The NYSC feels highly diminished by the death of Eunice Chioma Igweike, a promising young Nigerian that would have been a great ambassador of her family, contributing her quota to nation building. The Director-General NYSC, Brigadier General Mohammed Fadah, management and the entire members of NYSC family commiserate with Igweike Family on the demise of the young lady.’’
In the same line, the scheme expressed sympathies to the Ohafia community, the government, and the people of Abia State over the corps member’s passing, the statement added.
