A Nigerian parent, Uwakwe Theresa, has written to the National Youths Service Corps for the redeployment of her son, stating that he suffers from spiritual attack called ‘Ogugu’

Her son, Chijioke Kingsley Nnamdi has been deployed to Yobe state for the National service. Theresa’s letter implores the NYSC scheme to redeploy his son back home so he can be attended to by his exorcist/prophet.

She explained that her son’s case is not a medical condition but stated that administering any form of orthodox medicines when he is on attack would trigger a regretful outcome or at worse, end his life. She goes on to explain that what is behind her son’s condition is very mystical.

However, NYSC code stipulates that a corps member can only be redeployed on health or marital grounds.
