The Ebonyi State Police Command had in 2021 declared the
24-year-old serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) missing.
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.
Until he went missing, Victor was serving with the Ebonyi
State Agency for Mass Literacy located along old Enugu/Abakaliki Road by
Presbyterian Church Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki, in the state capital.
The then Director-General of the NYSC and other members of
the management had visited the Omale family in Lokoja in 2021 when the incident
occurred. The family has since been in touch with the management of the NYSC
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.
He encouraged the family not to lose faith in God, adding
that the NYSC would continue to show love and commitment towards them.
“Accept our deepest sympathy and take heart that hope is
still alive,” he said.
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.
The DG was accompanied by the Director, Special Duties,
Alhaji Musa Abubakar; Director, Press and Public Relations Mr Eddy Megwa;
Director, Corps Welfare and Health Services; Mr Ayodele Omotade; and the Kogi
State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Mofoluwaso Williams.
