A serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member has reportedly beaten a small boy to death for mistakenly stumbling on him in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State.
According to Punch, the inciden occurred on Thursday evening, when the boy rushed into the corps members’ lodge to collect fruits from the residents, who are fond of offering fruits to children within the neighbourhood.

The Public Relations Officer of Bebeji Transformation for Change, Shehu Suleiman, who narrated the incident to newsmen, said police officers had barricaded the area, so as to forestall a possible breakdown of law and order, over the incident.

When contacted via telephone, the Kano state NYSC Coordinator, Ladan Baba, confirmed that the scheme had been briefed, adding that his officials have since proceeded to Bebeji on Friday morning to further investigate the incident.

While being paraded, Victor Ojionu confessed that he bought houses worth N125 million during his NYSC days and made over N500 million within five years.
