Assalamu alaykum,
With respect to the case of a female Corps member who was harassed by Captain Abalaba in Benue State, the NYSC Director General (DG); Brigadier General Johnson Bamidele Olawunmi scheduled a meeting with the MCAN National Executives in Abuja on the 24th of November, 2015 to discuss the issue in detail.
In the meeting, the DG sincerely apologized to the female Corps member who was harassed and the entire Muslim family within and outside the country. He added that the action of the ex-CC and the likes is highly condemnable if done to anyone, irrespective of their religious, ethnic or tribal background. He reemphasized his displeasure over the action of the ex-Benue State Camp Commandant (CC); Captain Abalaba, who was immediately decamped as directed by the him. He further stated that a committee has been set up to fully investigate the issue, afterwards the ex-CC shall face further punishment and as such he would have nothing to do with NYSC subsequently.
He also assured MCAN that a committee will be set up as soon as possible to provide a long lasting solution to the Molestation and Harassment of Corps members on religious grounds. The said committee will include at least an MCAN executive to guide NYSC on the issue at hand. As a caring father, he showed a positive interest towards supporting MCAN in achieving a better Nigeria and peaceful youth coexistence within the country irrespective of any differences
The president of the association; Abdullah Imam Ishaq presented some gift items to the DG on behalf of the entire Muslim Corps Members in the country.
However, as a matter of the sensitivity nature of the issue at hand, we deem it necessary and important to keep you abreast of the happenings as regards the subject matter.
Thank you as you keep your pieces of advice coming in.
Abdulsalam Adam Olalekan
