NYSC withholds allowances of corps member shot during service

A corps member, Dada Gbenga, who was shot in March at his place of primary assignment in Bayelsa State, has accused the National Youth Service Corps of withholding his two months allowances.

Meanwhile, the only survivor of the attack, Mr Dada, was not paid his April and May monthly allowances while he was in hospital receiving treatment for gunshot injuries he sustained from the attack.“After I left the hospital, I was redeployed to Kogi. While I was redeployed to Kogi State, my monthly allowances for April and May were not paid despite several efforts to get it.

When asked how he made his request, he said: “I wrote a hand-written letter together with my account details and statement of account for authenticity. It was acknowledged but no response.”“Firstly, we corp members depend on the allowance while discharging our duties. To get money for transportation to PPA, feeding and general welfare, I have depended on friends and family members who know my plight.
