Earlier today, a disturbing viral video surfaced on social media from Oba, Anambra State, showing armed men—allegedly members of the Agunechemba Vigilante Group—brutally assaulting and stripping corps member Jennifer Edema Elohor.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear.

The footage, which has spread rapidly online, has sparked national outrage and urgent calls for investigation and justice.

Reports indicate the incident occurred on the evening of August 18, 2025, with the vigilantes accused of using excessive force and subjecting the victim to public humiliation.

The Anambra State Government has since confirmed the arrest of those involved and pledged accountability.

Human rights advocates and NYSC officials have condemned the act, urging stronger protections for corps members.

The incident has reignited concerns about mob mentality in Nigeria, vigilante abuse, and the urgent need for reform in community security operations.
