 Anambra Governor Sacks Vigilantes, Orders Prosecution Over Assault on Corps Member


Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, has taken swift action by dismissing eight operatives of the Agunechemba Security outfit following their brutal assault and public humiliation of a female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Miss Jennifer Elobor. The governor has also ordered the immediate prosecution of the culprits, signaling a zero-tolerance stance on human rights abuses in the state.


The incident, which occurred in July, in Awka, sparked widespread outrage after a video surfaced online showing the vigilantes assaulting and stripping Miss Elobor in public. The corps member, serving at a local school, was reportedly accused of violating a community rule, though details of the alleged offense remain unclear. The viral footage drew condemnation from Nigerians, with many calling for justice and stricter oversight of vigilante groups.


In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, confirmed the dismissal of the eight operatives involved in the incident. “Governor Soludo has ordered the immediate sacking of the erring vigilantes and directed security agencies to ensure their prosecution for this egregious act,” Mefor said. “The Anambra State Government condemns any form of violence or dehumanizing treatment, especially against a serving corps member, and will not tolerate such behavior.”


The government has also launched an investigation to determine the circumstances leading to the assault and to ascertain whether other members of the Agunechemba Security outfit were complicit. The NYSC Coordinator in Anambra State, Mrs. Ekene Ibe, commended the governor’s swift response, describing the incident as “unacceptable and traumatic” for Miss Elobor. She assured that the NYSC is providing support to the corps member, including counseling and medical care.


Public reactions have been mixed, with many residents applauding the governor’s decisive action while others called for broader reforms in the operations of vigilante groups. “These vigilantes often act like they are above the law,” said Chidi Okonkwo, a trader in Awka. “This prosecution should serve as a deterrent.” Meanwhile, civil society organizations have urged the state government to establish stricter regulations for vigilante outfits to prevent future abuses.


The Agunechemba Security outfit, one of several community-based vigilante groups in Anambra, was established to complement police efforts in tackling crime. However, this incident has raised questions about their training and accountability. Governor Soludo has promised to review the operations of all vigilante groups in the state to ensure compliance with human rights standards.


As the prosecution process begins, the Anambra State Government has reiterated its commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of all residents, including corps members serving in the state. Miss Elobor is expected to receive further support as the case progresses through the legal system.
