The Ebonyi State Police Command had in 2021 declared the 24-year-old serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) missing.

The National Youth Service Corps says it has paid insurance benefits to the family of a corps member, Omale Victor EB/21A/1487, who went missing in 2021 during his service year in Ebonyi State.

The Ebonyi State Police Command had in 2021 declared the 24-year-old serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) missing.

Omale, who hails from Kogi State, was serving with the Ebonyi State Agency for Mass Literacy located along old Enugu/Abakaliki Road by Presbyterian Church Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki before he was reported missing.

His roommate, Innocent Ujah, had reported the case to the police after Omah didn’t return home after he left the National Association of Catholic-Church Corps Members (NACC) Family House around 6pm on November 9, 2021.

However in a statement signed by Eddy Megwa, Director, Press and Public Relations of the commission, on Thursday, the Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General YD Ahmed while handing over the cheque to his parents, Mr Omale Samuel and Mrs Omale Elizabeth at their residence in Lokoja, said the scheme would continue to identify with the family.

According to the statement, he encouraged the family that NYSC would continue to show love and commitment towards them, while he also advised the family not to lose faith in

God.

“Accept our deepest sympathy and take heart that hope is still alive,” he said.

However, in his response, Mr Omale Samuel commended the NYSC management for its favourable disposition to his family since the incident happened, while he prayed that God would bring back his son alive.

The Director General was accompanied by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mr Eddy Megwa, Director, Corps Welfare and Health Services, Mr Ayodele Omotade and NYSC Kogi State Coordinator, Mrs Mofoluwaso Williams.
