Outrage as Anambra security operatives strip female corps member naked

By

Days after a female passenger of Ibom Air, Emmanson Comfort was stripped at the Lagos Airport, another incident is now trending, involving a corps member serving in Anambra State. 

In the video, which is attracting outrage on social media, the female member of the National Youths Service Corps, NYSC, could be seen being flogged and stripped by gun-wielding operatives.

The operatives are men of the Operation Udo Ga-Achi, also known as the Agunechemba Vigilante Group.

A source narrated that they stormed a corps members’ lodge in Anambra State and assaulted the female corps member identified as Jennifer Edema Elohor and some of her colleagues.

The video was shared by the Haven 360 Foundation on Facebook on Monday.

It showed the victim, Elohor being beaten and stripped naked, by men wielding guns.

According to the Foundation, the operatives accused the corps members of being ‘yahoo people’. 

The foundation said the victims were brutalised and subjected to humiliating and sexually degrading threats.

Depsite providing their NYSC identity cards, the operatives still descended on the corps members, subjecting them to inhuman treatment.

The foundation wrote in part, "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.

"On July 23, 2025, these state actors stormed the corpers lodge, accusing the members of being 'Yahoo people', despite their prompt production of NYSC identification cards and uniforms.

"The assault was particularly egregious in the case of Jennifer Edema Elohor, who was beaten, stripped naked, and left exposed and covered in blood.

"The victims were subjected to unsavoury, horrible, sexually degrading words and actions, including threats of sexual violation."
Meanwhile, Anambra State Government has confirmed the assault, and declared that the operatives have been arrested.

Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Ken Emeakayi, confirmed the arrest while appearing on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday. 

He described the incident as unfortunate and unacceptable.

Emeakayi claimed that the operatives were chasing after cultists.

“The operatives were on the trail of some suspected cultists riding on motorcycles when they pursued them into a compound.

“In the process of searching the houses in line with their mandate, the unfortunate incident involving the corps member occurred,” he said.
