NYSC Opens Up On Alleged Beating Of Corps Member by davimus(m): 8:42am On Mar 08, 2017 |
Following the alleged beating of a corps member Esi
Uwakwe serving in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, by
some officers of the Nigeria Police, the National Youths
Service Corps (NYSC), on Tuesday said that the case
facts were grossly exaggerated. Authorities stated that
the corps member who is serving in a school, went
beyond the acceptable approaches to discipline by
causing knee injuries to one of his students whom he
instructed to crawl on her knees. A statement issued by
the Director of Press Unit, Mrs Abosede Aderibigbe, in
Abuja, revealed that the act angered the father of the
student who took the matter to the police, adding that
“in the course of handling the case, an overzealous
officer slapped the corps member.” The statement
reads in part:”Management wishes to inform the public
that findings of investigation launched by the Scheme
show that the facts of the case were grossly
exaggerated, especially in the social media. “Our
findings showed that the corps member, who is serving
in a school, went beyond his responsibility of teaching
and adoption of acceptable approaches to discipline by
causing knee injuries to one of his students whom he
instructed to crawl on her knees.” It maintained that the
scheme’s position on the matter was that both the corps
member and the policeman were wrong in their
approaches. However, NYSC noted that the Zamfara
State Commissioner of Police, had also invited all
parties to his office for amicable resolution of the case.
It added that the policeman in question has since
apologised for slapping the corps member. “Management
wishes to stress that the picture of a man with cuts on
his back, which is being circulated online, is not that of
corps member Uwakwe, but merely posted by some
with intent to cause mischief and further mislead the
public. “While we sympathise with both the injured
student and the corps member, whose inexperience
might have resulted in his excesses in his approach to
discipline, we wish to restate that the publicity the case
generated would have been normal if not for the
exaggeration. “Management remains committed to the
safety and dignity of corps members, but wishes to
advise those on teaching assignment to always exercise
caution in handling disciplinary cases and to, especially,
refer serious cases to their school supervisors to be on
the safe side,” it added. |
