The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday spoke concerning the murder of one Modupe Tawose.
The 23-year-old, 2017 Batch ‘A’ corps member serving with the Ogun
State Ministry of Housing in Abeokuta was allegedly raped, killed by her
driving instructor, Festus Udoh, 29.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Tawose was raped and killed on Dec. 9 in Ogun.
Her decomposing body was discovered in a bush at Abule Ayo in Odeda
Local Government Area where she was tied by her hands to a tree.
The management, grieved by the incident, promised to ensure justice on the culprit.
Mr John Okpo, the Ogun NYSC Coordinator gave the assurance during a condolence visit to the family of the deceased in Ibadan.
The suspect, who had since confessed to the crime, is being remanded in prison while awaiting trial.
Okpo said “The NYSC family nationwide is sad over the raping and
eventual murder of our beloved and patriotic corps member, Late Miss
Modupe Tawose.
“We strongly condemn the act and will go to any length to defend and
fight for the rights of our members and in this case, ensure justice is
delivered.
“We will do all to ensure Mr Festus Udoh is brought to book as this
will serve as a deterrent to other miscreants and evil doers in the
society.”
