Wife of Soludo Criticizes Attack on Female National Service Member

Nonye Soludo, the First Lady of Anambra State, has strongly condemned the brutal assault and stripping of a female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member by vigilantes in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra. The incident, which was captured in a viral video, has been described as disturbing and unjustified by Mrs. Soludo [1][3][4].

In response to the incident, Nonye Soludo has reached out to the assaulted corps member, Jennifer Elohor, offering sympathy and support. The First Lady invited her for a meeting at the New Government House to ensure she was comforted and prevented from experiencing further trauma [1][5].

The Anambra government has promised disciplinary action against the security operatives involved in the assault. Preliminary investigations suggest that eight members of the Agunechemba security operatives were responsible for the attack. The police have confirmed arrests in connection with the incident [2][5].

The NYSC has also condemned the assault, confirming the victim’s identity as a visitor caught up in a raid. The organisation has assured corps members of protection across the country and stated that necessary actions are being taken to prevent such incidents [2].

Nonye Soludo's statements emphasise the need to guard Anambra's image jealously. She finds the Oba incident very disturbing and believes that there are rules of engagement in such situations. The First Lady appeals to appropriate authorities to take critical measures to ensure the Oba incident is not repeated [1][3].

The incident highlights the importance of dignity, civility, and respect in law enforcement. Nonye Soludo's statements suggest that these values should prioritize in such situations, reflecting neither the humane philosophy of her husband's administration nor the identity of Anambra people as a hospitable and peaceful state [3].

The lady in the viral video is a female corps member serving in Anambra State. Nonye Soludo has called for an investigation to ensure those involved are brought to justice. The incident, which allegedly occurred during a search for internet fraudsters at a corps member's lodge, has drawn official and public condemnation, emphasizing the need for respect and humane treatment in security operations [1][2][3][5].

This response shows both compassionate personal engagement by Nonye Soludo and concrete steps by the government and security agencies to hold perpetrators accountable and protect corps members in Anambra [1][2][3][5].
