The wife of the governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has condemned the stripping and beating of a lady said to be a member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, in the state.

A viral video of the incident has been circulating on social media. The incident reportedly occurred in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state, where operatives were said to have invaded a corps members’ lodge in search of internet fraudsters.

The video, which showed the lady being beaten by gun-wielding operatives while her dress was torn as she wailed and begged for mercy, has attracted widespread condemnation.

The governor’s wife described it as a disturbing sight, calling for an investigation to ensure that those involved were brought to book.

Mrs Nonye Soludo in her press statement said: “I’ve seen a viral video of the sad incident — reported to have happened in Oba, Idemili South LGA — involving men of Agunechemba security formation and a female corps member who is serving in Anambra State.

“There’s no justification whatsoever for such an ugly and humiliating abuse. Such a demeaning approach to law and order does not in any manner reflect our celebrated identity as a hospitable and peaceful people. It does not represent the humane philosophy of our administration, either.

“There are always rules of engagement in such situations, and they must prioritise dignity, civility, and respect. I find the Oba incident very disturbing and appeal to appropriate authorities that are already looking into it to take critical measures to not only entrench justice but to, most importantly, ensure that we do not see such a worrisome scene ever again.

“Anambra’s image is priceless. We must guard it jealously.”

Meanwhile, police authorities in the state said the operatives involved had been arrested, but the victim has not yet been traced.
