Hoodlums have attacked two female members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Ebonyi State.

Ebonyi Police spokesperson, Loveth Odah, said that the corps members were ordered by the hoodlums to take off their clothes and pants and hand them over.

The spokesperson added that one of the corps members had blood on her sanitary pad and pant as she was on her period.

“On 5th of February, 2019, Female corps members reported to Divisional Headquarters in Ohaukwu Local Government Area to report that on their way coming from Ezillo in Ishielu Local Government Area to Abakaliki, a Jeep stopped in front of them and asked them to pay N200 each to be conveyed to Abakaliki. They entered,” she said.

She added that on reaching 135 Junction, at Ezzamgbo, the men diverted to another direction and told them that they wanted to pick something from a teacher at St. Michael Secondary School, Ezzamgbo.

“When they got to Oshiegbe community, at the boundary area between Ohaukwu and Ezza North Local Government Areas, the driver stopped and came down.

“He told them that he wanted to ease himself. He immediately went to the back door, opened the door and pointed a gun at them; ordering them to come down and give them all their cloths including their pants.

“They collected their pants and her sanitary pad and drove off. Before driving off, they collected their phones and smashed them on the spot.

“We also learnt that when they meet women who are not wearing pants, they give them pants and force them to wear them for about five minutes before taking them away from their victims,” Odah said.

The spokesperson advised commuters to always go to designated motor parks to board vehicles to avert such attacks.
