NIGERIA (Ekiti) — The Commissioner for Youth and Sports in Ekiti State, Mr. Kayode Olaosebikan, has been arrested by Police in Ekiti State for questioning over the beating up of a National Youths Service Corps, NYSC, member at a registration unit in Otun Ekiti, Moba Local Government Area of the state.

Olaosebikan, who allegedly beat up Mr. Thompson Enobong with NYSC number EK/13C/1859, a corps member assisting the Independent National Electoral Commission in the just-concluded registration, was seen at the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, making his statement.

It was gathered that after the beating, Enobong was subsequently rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Ido Ekiti, where he is said to be receiving treatment.

Olaosebikan, however, denied beating up the corps member, saying he merely protected him.
