Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has said that the parents of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member recently assaulted in the state were initially reluctant to pursue prosecution against the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Arise Television\u2019s Prime Time programme on Wednesday, Soludo explained that the assault, which occurred on July 23, was immediately addressed by security operatives who arrested the culprits and provided medical attention to the victim.<\/p>\n

The governor said some restitution was made, including compensation for damaged phones belonging to the victim and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe briefing I got was that her phone was damaged. Some others\u2019 phones were damaged in the process, and there was some restitution to that effect. She was taken care of medically, and those guys were apprehended, first suspended, and the investigation ongoing,\u201d Soludo said.<\/p>\n

Soludo noted that the victim\u2019s family had initially declined prosecution \u201cfor whatever private considerations\u201d but later changed their stance.<\/p>\n

He said he had received a letter from the state NYSC director on Tuesday, indicating the family\u2019s readiness to proceed with the case.<\/p>\n

Soludo condemned the assault, describing the video footage of the incident as \u201cdespicable and outrageous.\u201d He stressed that no one deserved such treatment under any circumstance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have four beautiful daughters, and I couldn\u2019t imagine that happening to any of them. Whatever the crime, you arrest and prosecute, but nobody should be brutalized,\u201d he said, adding that the state government would ensure due process of law.<\/p>\n
