The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says it is working to ensure that the suspect who raped and killed a corps member, Tawose Modupe, 23, in Ogun State is brought to book.
A driving instructor, identified as Festus Udoh, had on Monday, confessed how he lured Modupe into a bush at Mawuko, Odeda Local Government Area of the state, raped and strangled her to death.
NYSC Ogun State Coordinator, Mr John Okpo, paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased on Wednesday to commiserate with the family. He assures that the NYSC will do all that is necessary to bring the suspect to justice.
He says: “The entire NYSC family is grieved over the demise of the corps member. We condemn the act in its totality. We are working to ensure that the perpetrator of the heinous crime is brought to book. We will continue to protect and defend the rights of corps members.
“We pray to God to console the family in their moment of grief. We also advise the corps members to be security conscious always and promptly report any security threat to the appropriate authorities.”
An uncle to the deceased, Hakeem Okunola, thanked the NYSC for the visit and its prompt action which led to the arrest of the alleged killer.
