One of the victims of the armed robbery attack
A Nigerian man, Bassey Edem has narrated how some armed robbers yesterday at exactly 11.35pm, invaded the NCCF (Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship) lodge at Ngwoaku Isuochi, Abia state and carted away cash, phones, laptops and other gadgets.
The corpers where also beaten severely and inflicted with serious injuries on them. He stated that if not for God, they would have killed the corps members. He then called on the Abia state government and NYSC to do something about their security, because they are no longer safe.
"In May, I posted something about molestation and killing of corps members and reiterated the need for people to show them love.
Yesterday at exactly 11.35pm, a group of youth later discovered to be armed robbers invaded the NCCF (Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship) lodge at Ngwoaku Isuochi, Ummuneochi LGA of Abia state and carted away with cash, phones, laptops and other cadgets belonging to us. They didn't stop there, they inflicted serious injury on us.
Abia state and NYSC should do something because our live is not safe here. If not God, they would have killed us. We are here to serve them but some youths of the community are hostile and deadly.
Is it a crime to serve the fatherland? God please fight for us because our voices are feeble. Please share until it gets to the authorities concern."
