Youth Corper Stabbed In His Eye By Girlfriend For Having An Affair With Another Lady.

A corps member, Emmanuel Oyelara serving in Ebonyi State was last weekend, stabbed in his left eye by one of his girlfriends for allegedly having an affair with another lady within the area of his place of primary assignment. Oyelara who is now lying in a critical condition at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, FETHA, because of the injuries he sustained might never see again as it was reported that before the unfortunate incident his right eye were already defective.

 It was gathered that a fight broke-out when one Happiness and Maria, whom the 'lover boy” Corps member was said to have been dating, eventually met in his house on the fateful day. Investigation revealed that the fight was the fourth time the ladies were fighting in Corper Oyelara’s house over who would take over the “lover boy” corps member. It was learnt that Happiness who hailed from Umuchima in Uburu town of the LGA, having been hurt by the promiscuous attitude of Oyelara allegedly used a broken bottle and stabbed him on his left eye without considering the consequences of her action.
 Meanwhile, when Vanguard visited Corper Oyelara at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, he denied that the two ladies were his friends, insisting that they (the ladies) usually bring vegetables for him to buy until when both of them met in his house and engaged in fight.
 According to him, when the fight started, he left to go and report the matter to their parents when Happiness caught up with him and stabbed him on his left eye. However, investigation revealed that the two ladies are single mothers; one with 3 children and the other with 2 kids purportedly from different men. Contacted, the Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sylvester Igbo confirmed that the two Uburu ladies had been arrested over the incident as investigation were on to unravel the remote causes that made Happiness to stab the victim on his left eye having been aware that the corps member had difficulty in seeing with his right eye. He added that investigation had proven that the victim was dating the two ladies, Happiness and Maria before the unfortunate incident occurred.

JAMB Registration Number A Prerequisite For NYSC Mobilisation – NYSC insists

The NYSC Director, Public Relation, Mrs Bosede Aribigbe, on Tuesday advised prospective corps members to obtain their JAMB registration numbers, to avoid demobilisation.

Aribigbe  in Abuja said  that one of the requirements for participation in the orientation exercise was the presentation of JAMB registration number.

According to her, only corps members, who are duly qualified and registered with JAMB will be mobilised for the scheme.

She, therefore, advised prospective corps members to obtain their registration numbers from JAMB to qualify for the exercise.

Aribigbe said: “I am advising the prospective corps members to make sure that they obtain their JAMB registration numbers to be able to participate in the orientation exercise.

`‘They must liaise with their Students Affairs Department to be able to secure the JAMB registration numbers, if they do not have it.

“Parents and guardians of those who are going for degrees and HND through remedial should encourage their wards to obtain the registration number, to enable them participate in the exercise.

“This category of students should give the registration number to their student affairs departments immediately they secure it, to ensure they will participate in the scheme.”

She said that the pre-mobilisation workshop for the 2013 Batch ‘B’ exercise was billed to hold in April.

She recalled that some of the prospective corps members due for mobilisation in the 2013 Batch `A’ exercise could not do so, due to failure to present JAMB registration numbers.

She also said that 70,000 corps members were mobilised for the 2013 Batch `A’ orientation exercise nationwide.
