Mrs Nike Okundaye, the NYSC Public Relations Officer in the state, confirmed the killing in a telephone interview.

Okundaye said that NYSC management had paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased.

She said the deceased would be buried on Tuesday according to Islamic rites

Okundaye, who described the killing of the corps member as barbaric, said the NYSC headquarters had also been informed about the incident. (NAN)
