A viral video of armed vigilantes assaulting and falsely accusing NYSC corps member Jennifer Edema Elohor in Anambra State has led to their arrest, with the state government condemning the act as unacceptable and pledging justice.
A shocking TikTok video showing a female NYSC corps member, identified as Jennifer Edema Elohor, being beaten, stripped, and branded a “Yahoo girl” by armed vigilantes in a lodge in Anambra State has sparked widespread outrage .
Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration has taken swift action, arresting the operatives—affiliated with the newly formed Agunechemba Vigilante Group under the state’s Operation Udo Ga‑Achi—for their unacceptable conduct, despite the victims having displayed their uniforms and ID cards .
Ken Emeakayi, the governor’s Special Adviser on Community Security, condemned the assault as “unfortunate and unacceptable,” confirming that the operatives were detained for preliminary investigations and possible disciplinary or legal action. He emphasized that such abuse of power will not be tolerated, and that the government is committed to justice and accountability .
