Police Brutality: NYSC Orders Removal Of Corps Member From Zamfara School by davimus(m): 8:10am On Mar 08, 2017 |
Authorities of the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) have ordered the removal of all corps
members from a secondary school in Kaura Namoda,
Zamfara State where a corps member was beaten up
and detained by police for disciplining an erring
student.
TribuneOnline reliably gathered that the corps
member named Michael was serving as a teacher in
Nasara Standard Academy, Kaura Namoda, when he
reportedly asked a student to kneel down as
punishment for misbehaving in class.
The punishment reportedly got a big man in town said
to be the student’s guardian enraged and he proceeded
to get the corps member arrested by the police.
One NYSC source said the corps member was
assaulted by the police who also detained him.
TribuneOnline was told by a credible NYSC source
that “the DG has taken up the matter.
The assaulted corps member has also been asked to
come down to Abuja for proper debriefing and for him
to make a formal report while all corps members in
that school have been withdrawn.” The source said.
Meanwhile, Zamfara State Police Commissioner
Shaba Alkali has ordered the release of the corps
member, while the father of the student was said to
have apologised to the corps member
However, other corps members subsequently wrote
this SoS which has been trending online:
WHO WILL HEAR, AND NOT CRY?
The entire corps members serving in Kaura Namoda,
Zamfara state are bleeding out purple blood. Our hearts
are thumping out: strong rhythms of pain. Our dignity
has been trampled and mangled with reckless impunity.
God!
Today a corps member, Michael, serving his fatherland
through sweat and bile; rough roads, hunger, merciless
weather; and the shame of 19800 in the face of a
smothering economy. Michael—serving in Nasara
Standard Academy perceived as the shining light in a
tottering secondary education system in Kaura Namoda
— was today brutalised, manhandled and reduced to
nothingness by a brainless team comprising of the
richest man in Kaura Namoda and his equally wanton
boys. What was his crime?
Michael had punished his student who happens to be
this man’s ward. A simple kneel down. Michael who had
nurtured these block heads with patience and love.
Michael, who had taught with empty stomach till letters
on the chalkboard danced like rampant music notes
before his eyes. For all of us like Michael, who have
stretched the capacities of our strengths and
sensibilities to serve a stifling system. For all the ‘
under the sun and in the rain’, what have we gotten as
reward?
This notorious man, clenching his cash ridden fists,
recruits the help of the police and in that shameless
trotting of Zombies, storms Nasara Academy to crucify
Michael like a criminal. He was punched like a sack of
millet and stripped of humanity. He was beaten, beaten,
and again beaten like he stole karats of gold in a jungle
market. O God! My fingers are itching, and it’s like they
will drip blood. Michael was driven to the Police Station
where the real torture awaited him.
They removed what was left of his pride as a Man
serving his country. Then, they flogged and flogged
him, and when their energy sapped out, the Evil of a
man threw wads of naira notes about, and refueled their
animalism. Michael was a heap of sorrow and a
container of hot painful tears. As some of Michael’s
colleagues arrived and tried to raise their voices
against the escalating reign of heartlessness; the
Police men, some apparently drunk, threatened with
pointed rifles, slapping and pushing them….
Hear me if you are a corps member in Kaura Namoda!
We have been abused to our bones. We are now just
remnants of pride sliced into irredeemable pieces. Our
hearts have been pierced by hot pellets of searing pain.
Our heads are now buried in shame. The little essence
of our ghostly existence has been thoroughly erased.
We are now empty, just plain empty.
Who will hear this and not cry? How can we move about
when our sinews are depleted? Who will walk the long
and dusty paths to schools to teach? Who will serve the
masters under a sun that burns through skin and fluid?
Who will hear this and not cry?
Nothing has been done. The engineer of this massive
evil is an untouchable. A stinkingly rich sacred goat. He
has played ping pong with our dignity and thinks he will
get away with it because he is rich. Because our
society is rotten and deceased of sense. Because our
policeman are a bunch of kitted area boys. Because
‘money’ has shredded the spines of our moral make-up.
Michael is lying in a police cell, writhing in raw pain—-
a soul beaten beyond repair. He has been physically
wounded but more serious is the mental injury. But he
is not alone. We are all wounded like Michael and our
soul is burning from strife. Who will hear this and not
cry? We therefore call on:
The state Government;
The State Coordinator NYSC;
The Emir of Kaura Namoda;
The Commissioner of Police;
Every Khaki and Jungle boot in Zamfara state and
Nigeria as a whole. Let us roar and be heard. Tell the
next person to tell another. Let our tales of woe reach
the peak where justice crouches. The brutalisation of
Michael in a land where he is vulnerable and hapless
will not go without notice. Justice must be done. Corps
members must be protected. Our dignity must be
restored. The pride of khaki and Jungle boots must be
reinvented.
Today, Michael was battered for all of us. Shall we hear
and look away…who will hear this AND NOT CRY?
