The National Youth Service Corps has paid the insurance benefit to the family of a corps member Omale Victor with state code EB/21A/1487, who went missing in 2021 during his service year in Ebonyi State.
Victor, who was 24 years old at the time, was declared missing on November 9, 2021, by his roommate Innocent Ujah, who reported to the police that Victor had left his apartment around 6pm that evening, and never returned.
The DG, NYSC, Brigadier General Ahmed, while handing over the cheque to the parents of the deceased, Mr Samuel and Mrs Elizabeth Omale at their residence in Lokoja, on Thursday, said the scheme would continue to identify with the family.
In his response, Mr Samuel congratulated General Ahmed on his appointment as the new Director-General of the NYSC.
He thanked the NYSC management for its favourable disposition to his family since the incident, and prayed that God would bring back his son alive.
