Jennifer Elohor, a female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, has recalled the dehumanising experience with the Udo Ga Chi vigilante group after they assaulted and stripped her in public.
TheNewsGuru reports that the incident, captured in a viral video, showed the operatives pointing pump-action rifles while attacking her.
The vigilante group reportedly whisked Elohor and other NYSC members away, against their wishes.
Recounting her ordeal on a podcast, Elohor said the Agunechemba operatives stormed the corps members’ lodge at about 5 pm that fateful day.
She said, “At first, we thought it was our neighbours’ door because it’s a three-storey building with several flats.
“But the knock became louder and more aggressive, so I decided to check. Before I could reach the door, it was kicked open.
The Delta State indigene stated that the intruders ransacked their room, seized their phones and laptops, and became violent.
“They pushed us downstairs, almost shoving me down the staircase. They kept asking what gave me the right, as a woman, to challenge them.
“It was when we got outside that we saw their vehicle and discovered they were from the Anambra Vigilante Group,” she said.
She further claimed that when they requested to call their lodge proprietor or NYSC officials to notify them of where they were being taken, the vigilante members became more brutal.
“They beat me, tore my clothes, and even hit one of my colleagues with an iron rod for pleading on my behalf.
“They forced me into their vehicle, pressing my neck, slapping me, and threatening to smash our phones if we contacted anyone,” she said.
