A disturbing video has emerged online showing members of a vigilante group assaulting corps members in Anambra State. The footage, shared Monday by the Haven 360 Foundation on Facebook, captured armed men believed to be operatives of Operation Udo Ga-Achi, also called the Agunechemba Vigilante Group, storming a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) lodge.
In the video, a female corps member, Jennifer Edema Elohor, was seen beaten and stripped naked while her colleagues were also harassed by gun-wielding men.
The foundation said the victims were “brutalised and subjected to humiliating and sexually degrading threats.” It added that the vigilantes accused the corps members of being internet fraudsters, despite their attempts to prove their identities with NYSC cards.
“We strongly condemn the brutal assault and violation of rights of NYSC members,” the foundation stated. “The assault was particularly egregious in the case of Jennifer Edema Elohor, who was beaten, stripped naked, and left exposed and covered in blood.”
