The Anambra State Government has strongly condemned the assault of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member by operatives of Operation Udo Ga-Achi in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Prof. Law Mefor, the government confirmed that the incident occurred on July 25, 2025. He noted that the state authorities had already apprehended and questioned the offenders prior to the release of the now-viral video.
Mefor disclosed that the implicated operatives have been suspended from duty pending a full investigation and disciplinary measures. “We are working closely with the police to ensure a thorough investigation and the full dispensation of justice. The victim has received necessary medical attention, and we are committed to providing continued support,” he stated.
The state government reassured NYSC members serving in Anambra that they have nothing to fear while working with security outfits such as Agunechemba and Operation Udo Ga-Achi, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in combating crime.
