Some unidentified hoodlums in the early hours of Saturday attacked a corps                   member, Miss Gbenimachor Chinezendu-Ezinne, in her residence at Obubra Local                     Ggovernment Area of Cross River.

Chinezendu-Ezinne, a 2016 Batch B `Stream 1’ corps member, is currently doing                                 her primary assignment at the General Hospital in Obubra.
The hoodlums attacked her in her residence and gave her a cut in her right thumb.
“We are aware of the matter. The corps member reported to us that she was attacked in                    her residence in Obubra.
“We saw the injury on her hand; we thank God that it was not too serious. We have                      given her a permit to go and visit her parent and get some relief.
“We call on all communities in the state to always stand with the corps members and                  protect them against any form of attack.
“I condemn which ever group of persons that carried out this attack on our corps member.
“Cross River is a peaceful state; we have enjoyed a warm relationship with residents of                  the state and government over the years.
“I wonder why some people will go headlong to attack a corps member that came from a                    far distance to render service to the people,’’ she said.
She advised corps members serving in the state to be cautious and vigilant and to                       report all suspicious movements around them to the police or any security agencies closer                 to them.
