Agency Report/

The Director-General, National Youth Service Corps, Brig.-Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has paid his last respect to Mr. Precious Owolabi, a corps member who had his primary assignment with the Channels TV Abuja office.

Ibrahim inspected Owolabi’s body shortly before it was removed from the National Hospital Abuja, on Tuesday, for homeward journey.

Owolabi died of gunshot injuries he sustained in Monday’s violent confrontations between the Police and members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (aka Shi’ites).
