Unmarried Corp Members Brutally Attacked by Extremists in Katsina State For Living Together (photos)
According to multiple online reports, that Katsina state indigenes attacked two serving members of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC), cutting off the thumb of one of them. The act was allegedly carried out because the male corper whose finger was cut off lives in the same house with the female corper whom he is not married to. However, a young man by the name Alagbada Dr (@alagbada13), on Twitter took to his handle to post pictures of how the male corp member was brutalized by the indigenes with the caption: “More pics of corper attacked today in Katsina bcos he lives in the same house with a female corp member he isn’t married to.”

Another corp member took to his Facebook handle to call on the federal government to come to their rescue in the state. Ikenna Adol Madu said: “I want to use this medium to inform the federal government, state government here in Katsina state and NYSC Director General to come to our rescue here in Katsina state as a result of the incessant attack against the corpers serving in Katsina state. Our lives are no longer safe and we are living in a state of quagmire. Last night some corpers were attacked both boys and girls and the worse part of it is that a girl’s hand was cut off for no reason. Senate and house of rep, please do something about it and do not sit down and watch ur sons and daughters that u spent huge amount of money to train in University to die like chicken. God we need ur help, please come and safe our lives. Please our parents out there, pray to God always to safe our lives….copied”
