A 30 year old man, Samuel Collins - who was said to
be a member of the National Youth Service Corps members serving in
Bayelsa state, was killed by suspected armed robbers during an attack on
Melford Okilo Road, INEC/Kpansia area of Yenagoa, on June 24th.
According to reports, the robbers shot the deceased at close range when
he was struggling to prevent them from collecting his phone and money. NYSC has released a statement, debunking reports that he was a serving corps member. According to the statement;
The
attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to a news story
published by some online newspapers with the above headline about the
killing of one, Mr. Samuel Collins, by gunmen suspected to be cultists
in Bayelsa State. Management wishes to state that, contrary to the
impression created in the report, the deceased was not a Corps member.
A
search through our records in Bayelsa State showed no such name as
Samuel Collins on the list of serving Corps members. For the avoidance
of doubt, Police in the state have identified the deceased as staff of a
Yenagoa-based agency.
While sympathizing with
the bereaved family, we take exception to the misrepresentation of facts
in that report, which is capable of sensationalizing the issue of
safety and general welfare of our Corps members. Management urges Corps
members serving in Bayelsa State as well as their parents and guardians
to remain calm as we remain committed to working with relevant
stakeholders to ensure their continued safety.
