Vigilantes assault, strip female corps member in Anambra + Video
by Adeola Balogun · The Eagle OnlineA disturbing video circulating online has captured the moment armed men believed to be members of Operation Udo Ga-Achi, also known as the Agunechemba Vigilante Group, invaded a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) lodge in Anambra State and violently assaulted some corps members.
The video, released on Monday by the Haven 360 Foundation via Facebook, showed one of the victims, Jennifer Edema Elohor, being physically attacked and stripped naked by the armed vigilantes.
The foundation said the corps members endured severe beatings and degrading treatment, with threats of sexual assault directed at them.
According to the foundation, the vigilante group accused the corps members of engaging in internet fraud, commonly called “yahoo yahoo,” and still proceeded to assault them despite their presentation of official NYSC identification cards.
The foundation, in its statement, said: “We strongly condemn the brutal assault and violation of rights of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members by operatives of Operation Udo Ga-Achi or ‘Agunechemba Vigilante Group’ in Anambra State.

“The victims were subjected to unsavoury, horrible, sexually degrading words and actions, including threats of sexual violation.”
