‎The National Youth Service Corps member, Jennifer Elohor Edema, who was brutalized by Anambra security operatives known as “Agunechemba,” has narrated her ordeal to Kpoko FM on Air Personality, Aprokoking.
‎
‎Elohor, in a video, recounted how the vigilante personnel stormed their corps members’ lodge at Oba, Idemili LGA, accusing them of being internet fraudsters and forcefully took her and others away.
‎
‎When they requested to call their lodge proprietor or NYSC officials to notify them of where they were being taken, the vigilante members became more brutal and violent, to the point that they could even be declared dead.
‎
‎“At first, we thought it was our neighbors’ door because it’s a three-storey building with several flats. But the knock became louder and more aggressive, so I decided to check. Before I could reach the door, it was kicked open.
‎
‎“A masked man armed with a gun stormed into the room without any form of identification or uniform.
‎
‎“At first, I thought it was an armed robber until he ordered all of us to come outside. I tried to explain that we were corps members and even suggested showing our NYSC identity cards. My colleagues also presented theirs, but the men ignored us. The intruders ransacked our room, seized our phones and laptops, and became violent.
‎
‎“They pushed us downstairs, almost shoving me down the staircase. They kept asking what gave me the right, as a woman, to challenge them. It was when we got outside that we saw their vehicle and discovered they were from the Anambra Vigilante Group.
‎
‎“They beat me, tore my clothes, and even hit one of my colleagues with an iron rod for pleading on my behalf. They forced me into their vehicle, pressing my neck, slapping me, and threatening to smash our phones if we contacted anyone,” she explained.
