The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has condemned the abduction of eight members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by gunmen in Zamfara State. The rights group acknowledged the bold efforts by the management of the NYSC to get the corpers freed but has asked that operations of the NYSC be shut down for a short duration of time so all efforts would be geared towards freeing the hostages.

Except something is fundamentally wrong somewhere or somebody somewhere is up to something sinister, no single mature and learned Nigerian lacks the knowledge and understanding that as a fresh University/Polytechnic graduate in the country, the Constitution requires a mandatory one-year National Youth Service Corps assignment with a discharge certificate issued after its successful completion. It’s also a general knowledge that if a graduate has attained the age of 30, as at the time of signing out from his/her citadel, such is constitutionally exempted and so, NYSC, after being obliged with enough evidence, is expected to without any rumpus issue a certificate of exemption to the concerned.
