A cross-section of Nigerians have expressed outraged seeing the pictures of Youth Corp members volunteering for elections sleeping in the cold.
Some of the corp members, who took to social media to expressed their anger questioned INEC and the NYSC management over the ‘ill treatment’.
Some said they were kept in a school with no security and were told to find their way to the Local Government at 1am while others said they were left to take care of their transportation and feeding.
Veteran nollywood actress, Omotola Jolade also berated INEC just as she questioned parents for allowing their children to participate in the process.

I still maintain what I said about this program some years Ago. Is this compulsory? Why do you accept to do this and put yourself in harms way? Why do parents Allow their children do this? @inecnigeria is this how you should threat ppl’s children “serving” Nigeria? #NYSC pic.twitter.com/TJU61O3lJC

Shame on the DG of NYSC for allowing our corpers to be treated like animals by INEC. No provision for their welfare and billions of naira was appropriated for these elections. Mahmood Yakubu should better fix it before the new day of election. RT for the corpers. pic.twitter.com/6nivxcy1WH
