The Anambra State Government has condemned the assault on a National Youth Service Corps member, Jennifer Elobor, by members of the state security outfit.
This is just as it said, those responsible have been identified, arrested, and detained. The operatives were seen beating the female corps member despite her cries for help. In the process, her clothes were torn, leaving her exposed. Despite this, the operatives in number continued to beat the female corps member.
In the video, the corps member was seen begging the security operatives to stop as they continued to hit her.
Emeakayi also clarified the distinction between Operation Udo Gatchi and Agbunechemba, noting that the former is a joint security operation involving multiple agencies, while the latter is the state’s statutory security outfit created by law.
He assured residents of Anambra that Governor Charles Soludo’s administration will not condone any abuse of power by security agents, particularly against innocent citizens.
Appearing on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday, Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Ken Emeakayi, described the incident as unfortunate and unacceptable.
