“I just believe that God intervene in my battle because I see no other reason why he would av left me not accomplishing his aim to rape me and didn’t collect my phone or any belongings,”, she added.The corp member ended her story by imploring the government to “scrap this NYSC or stop posting corpers to remote areas.”
