The Management of the National Youths Service Scheme has called on the general public to disregard the photograph of a Corps member, Thlama Stephen Wudiri, currently trending on social media with the information that she died in a ghastly motor accident and her body deposited in a mortuary in Plateau State.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Scheme, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi and made available to journalists in Abuja Nigeria’s capital.
The Director hinted that the person in question was involved in a ghastly motor accident along Maiduguri Road which sadly claimed her life since 2016.
Mrs Adeyemi noted that the post, devoid of emotional intelligence, conveys an erroneous impression as though the accident just occurred.
According to her, “to put the issue in proper perspective, Management hereby clarifies once again, having done so on 8th February 2020 that the lady in question, Thlama Stephen Wudiri, was indeed a Corps Member serving in Gombe State.”
The Scheme image maker added that the Scheme was grief-stricken, and felt highly diminished by Thlama’s demised.
“Her remains were interred over four years ago.
“It is very pertinent to advise that people, as a matter of necessity should be circumspect in forwarding unverified posts that could cause offence and grief, such as the one trending.
“May her soul continue to rest peacefully and blissfully in the Lord, and may God comfort her family.” she prayed.
