A National Youth Service member, NYSC, Samaila Awudu, has been reportedly killed by gunmen in Yola South Local Government Area, Adamawa State. <\/p>\n
28-year-old Awudu was killed during an attack on Yolde Pate corpers\u2019 lodge over the weekend. <\/p>\n
It was gathered that after he was inflicted with life-threatening wounds by the assailants, he was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Yola where he gave up the ghost.<\/p>\n
A corps member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the killers were more than five in number. He noted that when the assailants came, they locked up all the doors of the other corps members before going to Samaila\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey used an axe to cut him and thought he was already dead. Since all the other corps members were locked up in their rooms, there was no way for anyone to come to Samaila\u2019s aide. Maybe they were hired killers we don\u2019t know. Right now, we are all living in fears,\u201d the corps member said.<\/p>\n
Confirming the incident, Adamawa State NYSC Director, Mr Jingi Dennis, said investigation is ongoing to unravel the killers.<\/p>\n
He described the death of Awudu as \u201ca huge loss not only to Taraba State but the whole nation. It\u2019s very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that NYSC authorities, the state government and the police are doing everything possible to unravel the mystery and to bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to book.<\/p>\n
He called on the parents of the corps member to take everything as the will of God, adding that death can come at any time.<\/p>\n
Also, the Adamawa state Police Public Relations Officer, Sulieman Ngoruje, said the command is aware of the incident and that investigation has already begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
