SAD! Gunmen Attack NYSC Lodge, Steal Food Stuff, Rape Female Corpers Brutally



It was a sorrowful night for two members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), last Wednesday in Asarama Community, Andoni Local Government Area, Rivers State, after they were robbed and raped by some unknown gunmen.

The corpers were said to be in bed at their lodge when the gunmen who are suspected to be Niger Delta militants broke into their rooms to rob and rape them.

One of the victims in a telephone conversation with The Nation explained that the gunmen numbering seven wore face caps except for the ring leader, who was hooded.

She explained sadly: “The gunmen broke the door with their legs. We were about seven in the lodge. They entered my room and I was told to knock on other rooms. They came with guns and cutlasses. They were about seven in number.

“They asked all of us out of our rooms and they led all of us into an empty room. Then later they came to ask if we had any male Corps member because the lodge is like a wing. They asked him to pull his trousers. We, the girls were packed in an empty room and they told us to stand up one after the other and they led us to our rooms.

“Some phones were collected. There has not been light in our lodge since we started serving and they didn’t come with any source of light so they asked me to put on my torch. They asked us how much we had as they led us to our rooms. As they were doing that, they were beating, slapping and hitting us. They searched the rooms and asked us to bring the money. They asked me to kneel down and went into other people’s room to do the same thing.
