July 8, 2022 The National Youth Service Corps has sanctioned 131 corps members of the 2021 Batch B in seven states over misconduct.

The National Youth Service Corps has sanctioned 131 corps members of the 2021 Batch B in seven states over misconduct.

While some of the corps members will repeat their mandatory one year service, others got an extension of service year as punishment.

The states include Ekiti, Gombe, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Anambra and Bauchi.

In Ekiti State, the NYSC asked 11 corps members posted to repeat their mandatory service year for absconding from their places of primary assignment.

NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs Mary Chikezie, said that seven other corps members in the state were punished with extension of service year.

Chikezie, who spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, during the Passing-Out Parade of the 2021 Batch B corps members, said six of the 1,416 corps members for the batch, were rewarded for their outstanding performances in touching positively the lives of their host communities.

“Seven corps members have been found wanting and have been sanctioned with extension of service year. Eleven corps members will be remobilized for absconding,” she said.

She listed those honoured as Anuoluwa Balogun, Tom Udoudo, Dr Racheal Bob-Yellowe, Joachim Kolawole, David Onaolapo and Goodness Stephen.

Abductors Demand N500m To Free Bayelsa SSG’s Mum

Kidnappers of the 80-year-old Madam Betinah Benson, mother of the Secretary to the Bayelsa State Government, Dr Kombowei Benson, have demanded a ransom of N500m for her release.

Another group also demanded N200m for the release of Tari Ajanami, the owner of Club 64, a nightclub.

It was gathered that investigators were looking at the possibility that both abductions were planned by one group.

Calls to police spokesman Asinim Butswat were not routed, so he could not confirm the ransom demands.

But a member of the family of the club owner confirmed that they were contacted by the kidnappers who demanded a ransom of N200m.

“I was shocked when they demanded N200m. I hope and pray that they release our brother unhurt,” the family source said.
