The National Youth Service Corps has announced the death of a corps member, Okonta Samuel, (pictured below) with call-up number RV/15B/5539, during the re-run elections in Rivers State which held over the weekend.‎ A statement by the management of NYSC, says that Samuel, who served at GCSS Ukpeliede, was shot dead by unknown gunmen in Ahoada West Local Government Area on Saturday March 19th. The statement reads in part;

“The murder of this patriotic young man, who was an orphan, is primitive, barbaric, and ungodly; and should be strongly condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians. The NYSC shall work with relevant agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of this heinous act are fished out and made to face the full wrath of the law. We consider Okonta Samuel’s death as a great loss, not only to his immediate family, but also to all of us in the NYSC family and the entire nation".

Rivers State has began bloody politics, and it will only become worse if urgent steps are not taken to curb this deadly menace that is gradually snowballing.

Naija my country, I weep.

Rip to you boy, but it's a shame that people can risk their lives because of chicken feed. These corpers knew that the election in Rivers state is highly charged and dangerous yet they decided to partake in it. Well, it's a shame you lost your life young man, but in your next world try and weigh the risk of any adventure you're embarking on. It's very important!

Nigeria is not worth even the life of a lizard let alone that of this young man. RIP Ajuwaya

Since Youthcorps member Okonta Samuel
was killed in #RiversofBlood & not Northern
Nigeria, all he got on twitter was Eyah!
Bloody Hypocrites

He died because of money,Rip

So pathetic!

Okonta Samuel, an Orphan, the only surviving heir, to carry on the families lineage is dead.
he died wearing the green and white, he died in service.

but he didnt from shot, or machete wound from some northerners, if that was it tgey would have been here to say, "NYSC" be scraped, the Northerners are illiterate, Nigeria cannot work, among other Nation disintegrating stuffs..

but he died here, he died from the hands of shameless youths, who have allowed themselves to be used by politicians for cheap points..

all he went out for was to go out and help the people of his country elect whom to lead them, its a pity those to lead, were out in search of those to bleed...

its a shame...a big big big shame... that in this age the youths still allow Political gladiators who fly their families to save heavens, to use them(the youths in making hell on earth, for those of us (like Okonta Samuel) who have NO WHERE, AND NO ONE, to run or Fly to..

Rivers of Pain, Rivers of Shame, Rivers where they maim, the weakest of men.... (Shame on all Rivers State greedy Polititians, Shame on all the Senseless youths, who allow themselves to be used, shame on us all, who sit back, fold our hands and watch our state recede back to the infamous "STATE OF ANARCHY, STATE OF NATURE, where might was right, as it now is in Rivers.

#REST IN PEACE BROTHER.. your lineage may have ended, but we will pick up your the baton you left, and complete the race you started, the race/quest for a country where we peacefully select our leaders, who wont be so power hungry so blood thirsty as bleed an opponent, to bleed a fellow citizen, to bleed a serving Patriot to dead... Rest Well brother. Adieu.

See what Buhari has caused.

RIP
