No insurance for 35 slain NYSC members, others MondayMorning
Five months after the 2019 general elections, no fewer than 35 National Youth Service Corps members and other ad hoc workers, who were killed or injured in the process, have yet to get their insurance benefits.
Recall that about 300,000 corps members participated in the last general elections. Some of them reportedly died or sustained serious injuries during waves of election violence recorded in parts of Ondo, Rivers and a few other states. Another corps member, Ibisaki Amachree, was killed during the February 23, 2019, Presidential Election in Rivers State.
The electoral commission, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Wednesday, said all the 35 cases and insurance claims were being processed by the insurance company engaged by INEC to provide cover for its ad-hoc staff. Oyekanmi, in an exclusive chat in April, had disclosed this, adding that the commission had an insurance package for the corps members who served as ad hoc workers.
“Apart from the insurance cover already in place, the commission will gather all the necessary information about the victims and decide on the next steps.
