1:43
Chukuma Soludo on community security,
1:46
Mr. Ken Mikayi said the state government

acted swiftly after receiving reports
1:52
that the operatives while in pursuit of
1:54
suspected cultists on July 23rd, 2025
1:58
assaulted core members, an action which
2:00
he described as totally outside the
2:03
mandate of the agency and utterly
2:04
condemnable. Mr. Amikai stressed that
2:08
the Soludo administration will not
2:10
tolerate any form of unprofessionalism,
2:12
brutality, or abuse of office by
2:15
security operatives, assuring that any
2:17
officer found guilty of misconduct will
2:19
face immediate dismissal and

2:23
pleas from the victim's family and NYC
2:26
officials not to prolong prosecution for
2:28
damaging the identity of the people
2:30
involved, the Anra state government
2:32
insisted on full investigation and
2:35
accountability to serve as deterrence.

The special adviser further revealed
2:39
that the agency has already settled all

medical bills of the core member,

replaced damaged valuables such as
2:46
laptops and phones, and tended a public
2:48
apology to the victim, her family. NYSC

2:55
reiterated the government's resolve to
2:57
reform community security operations in
3:00
the state, emphasizing that Governor
3:02
Solido's administration is committed to
3:04
upholding professionalism,
3:06
accountability, and respect for human
3:08
rights in all security engagements. He
3:11
assured that the incident will be used
3:13
as a turning point to strengthen
3:15
discipline and restore public trust in
3:17
the Agon outfit. Meanwhile, the Anamra
3:20
State Police Command has condemned in
3:23
strong terms the alleged assault on a
3:25
female member of the National Youth
3:27
Service Corps NYC in Ober Idili South
3:31
local government area of the state. The
3:34
assault was reportedly carried out by
3:36
vigilante operatives. Following the
3:38
incident, the suspects involved have
3:41
been identified. The command however
3:44
notes that the alleged victim's
3:45
unavailability has temporarily stalled
3:47
the ongoing investigative process.
3:50
Meanwhile, the command has reiterated
3:52
that assault in any form remains a
3:54
criminal offense under the Nigerian law
3:57
and reserves the right to take necessary
3:59
legal action to aid the court
4:01
proceedings while waiting for the
4:02
victim. The command hereby reassures
4:05
core members serving across the state of
4:07
its unwavering commitment to their
4:09
protection, urging them to always report
4:11
incidents of harassment, intimidation,
4:14
or abuse for prompt intervention. The
4:17
command further cautions vigilante
4:19
groups and other quai security outfits
4:21
against acts of brutality or abuse of
4:24
authority, warning that any such
4:26
misconduct will not be condoned. SP
4:29
Toshukua, police public relations
4:32
officer, an Amra state police command
4:35
stated this in a press release issued on
4:37
the 19th of August 2025.
4:40
Omi Saware, founder of Sahare Reporters
4:43
in a statement said, "I strongly condemn
4:46
the brutalization of a youth corper by
4:48
the governor. Charles Chukuma Soludo's
4:51
agon vigilante group in Oberra state.
4:54
This barbaric act is unacceptable and
4:57
must not be swept under the carpet. Even
5:00
when the individuals responsible for
5:02
this violence have been identified and
5:04
apprehended, they must also be brought
5:06
to trial immediately through an
5:08
impartial judicial process. Our national
5:11
youth service core youth corps members
5:13
are serving Nigeria. They must never be
5:15
subjected to intimidation as was done to
5:18
Rashierita, humiliation or sexual
5:21
violence as seen in the horrific anamra
5:23
vigilante video. Vigilante groups cannot
5:26
be allowed to operate above the law or
5:28
brutalize innocent citizens with
5:30
impunity. Punch newspaper had reported
5:33
that the Anamra state government has
5:35
condemned the assault on a national
5:37
youth service corps member Jennifer
5:39
Elbor by members of the state security
5:42
outfit. This is just as it said those
5:45
responsible have been identified,
5:47
arrested, and detained. Punch online
5:50
reports in a video that went viral on
5:52
Tuesday, the operatives armed with guns
5:54
stormed the core members lodge accused
5:57
them of being internet fraudsters
5:58
despite showing their identification
6:00
cards and uniforms. The operatives were
6:03
seen beating the female core member
6:05
despite her cries for help. In the
6:08
process, her clothes were torn, leaving
6:11
her exposed. Despite this, the
6:14
operatives in number continued to beat
6:16
the female core member. In the video,
6:19
the core member was seen begging the
6:20
security operatives to stop as they
6:22
continued to hit her. The attack has
6:26
however triggered outrage on social
6:28
media with many Nigerians condemning the
6:31
actions of the vigilante group and
6:32
demanding justice for the victim.
6:35
Appearing on channels television's the
6:37
morning brief on Tuesday, special
6:39
adviser to Governor Chuku Masoludo on
6:42
community security, Kenamikai described
6:45
the incident as unfortunate and
6:46
unacceptable. He confirmed that the
6:49
operatives involved in the assault had
6:51
been arrested and are currently under
6:53
investigation.
6:54
According to Amika, the incident
6:57
occurred during a joint security
6:58
operation when operatives of Agenekmber,
7:01
the state security outfit established
7:03
under the Anamra state homeland security
7:06
law 2025, pursued suspected cultists
7:09
enter a residential compound. He
7:12
explained that the operation was part of
7:14
operation mudoki, a code name for joint
7:17
task force operations involving the
7:19
police, army, department of state
7:22
services, civil defense, and the state
7:24
security outfit. The operatives were on
7:27
the trail of some suspected cultists
7:29
riding on motorcycles when they pursued
7:31
them into a compound. In the process of
7:34
searching the houses in line with their
7:36
mandate, the unfortunate incident
7:38
involving the core member occurred.
7:41
While they were acting within the law,
7:43
their conduct in that instance was
7:45
unacceptable, he said. He stated that
7:48
the government wasted no time in
7:50
addressing the matter once it was
7:51
reported. Immediately the incident
7:54
happened, we arrested the operatives
7:56
involved and placed them in detention.
7:59
Our practice is to first carry out
8:00
preliminary investigations, bring in the
8:03
victims and complainants, and then
8:05
determine whether the matter warrants
8:07
internal disciplinary action or
8:08
prosecution, he stated.
8:11
Amika disclosed that the assaulted core
8:13
member was invited to his office
8:15
alongside NYSC officials where he
8:18
personally listened to their account of
8:19
the incident. Our conclusion is that
8:22
while the operatives were on a
8:24
legitimate assignment, the manner in
8:26
which they acted was not acceptable. We
8:29
have made that very clear and
8:31
disciplinary measures are being taken,
8:33
he added. Amikai also clarified the
8:36
distinction between operation Udo Kachi
8:38
and Agenembmber noting that the former
8:41
is a joint security operation involving
8:43
multiple agencies while the latter is
8:46
the state statutory security outfit
8:48
created by law. He assured residents of
8:51
Anamra that Governor Charles Soludo's
8:53
administration will not condone any
8:55
abuse of power by security agents
8:58
particularly against innocent citizens.
9:01
reacting. NYC in a statement on
9:03
Wednesday said the management of the
9:06
National Youth Service Corps NYC is
9:09
saddened by the unfortunate assault on
9:11
one of its female core member by some
9:13
operatives of the Anamra State Vigilante
9:16
Group Innova Idily South LGAA of Anamra
9:19
State. Management strongly condemns the
9:22
unacceptable and dehumanizing manner in
9:24
which the operatives conducted their
9:26
operations irrespective of their initial
9:29
justification for the purported
9:30
investigation they set out to carry out
9:32
at the facility where the core members
9:34
were accommodated. While appreciating
9:37
the concern of the general public over
9:39
this horrific incident as well as the
9:41
initial measures taken by the Anamra
9:43
state government, management wishes to
9:46
assure the general public that it
9:48
believes in and supports the ongoing
9:50
investigation by the Nigeria Police
9:52
Force towards unraveling what
9:54
transpired. This we trust will help get
9:57
justice for the core member in question
9:59
and any other agrieved party.
10:01
Furthermore, necessary administrative
10:04
procedures are underway to assist the
10:05
core member in question in managing the
10:08
physiological and psychological trauma
10:10
resulting from this unfortunate
10:11
incident. Management wishes to use this
10:14
medium to restate its strong commitment
10:16
to the welfare and security of core
10:18
members nationwide.
10:20
Nigeria is ours. Nigeria we serve. Thank
10:24
you. Caroline Embu, acting director
10:28
information and public relations stated,
10:31
"In further demonstration of of our
10:34
openness and our
10:37
readiness to be fair to everybody local,
10:41
we are going to take them now with or
10:44
without the girl and members of her
10:46
family. We're going to take them to the
10:49
police and hand them over the police."
10:52
That is what we are going what we about
10:54
doing now and this is the essence of
10:56
bringing them out so that everybody will
10:59
see them. We are not shing anybody
11:01
because some people have been insimating
11:03
oh we are trying somebody is trying to
11:05
sweep this under the carpet
11:07
in further demonstration that that is
11:09
not what we are doing there in what we
11:13
are doing and the governor of Mr.
11:15
Governor
11:17
is not interested.
11:19
He has not sent us out to molest
11:21
anybody.
