A Nigerian man has allegedly assaulted two corps members during a corps meeting in Enugu and reportedly boasted that the police cannot hold him accountable.
This claim was made public by a relative of one of the victims through her post on X (formerly Twitter), where she sought help and called for justice.
The woman accused the suspect, said to be a Corps Liaison Officer (CLO), of attacking her sister and her friend without provocation during the meeting.
She also alleged that the man has connections to a local NYSC official, making it difficult to hold him accountable.
In her post, she wrote: “Good evening, everyone. 😭 I’m begging with so much fear and tears in my eyes. 😭 My friend’s sister was harassed, and they’re trying to sweep it under the carpet because an NYSC official is involved.”
She further alleged that her sister was threatened after reporting the matter to the police.
“She called the police on him, but he said nothing would happen to him, and the police actually left. 😭 He threatened to make her life miserable for involving the police. She’s not safe because she still needs to serve.”
The distraught woman appealed to the public to tag the relevant authorities, adding that she’s unsure of what steps to take next.
In a private message, she elaborated on the incident, claiming that the CLO frequently harasses corps members who reject his advances.
She added that efforts to report the matter to the Local Government Inspector (LGI) yielded no results, as the LGI allegedly intervened to shield the suspect from arrest.
“This CLO guy hit my sister and her friend unprovoked during the corps meeting. When the police arrived to arrest him, he locked himself inside and called the LGI. The LGI, who happens to be a woman, begged the police to leave, and they did. I’ve contacted my lawyer, and we’re pressing charges.”
She attached videos and screenshots to support her claims, urging the public and relevant authorities to take action.
The post has since gone viral, drawing reactions from concerned individuals online, many of whom shared their thoughts and called for justice in the comment section.

Hedera’s native token, HBAR, has captured the spotlight with over 44% price surge in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.25 and a market cap of over $9.3 billion, according to Coingecko. The bullish momentum continued with a 74% increase over the past week, fueled by rising social sentiment and market enthusiasm.
HBAR has experienced notable price fluctuations since its launch. It hit a peak of $0.576 in 2021 during the crypto bull market but declined sharply during the subsequent bear market, consistent with broader industry trends. However, in November 2024, HBAR pumped from $0.043 to 0.2, almost 266% pump.
Hedera’s core strengths remain intact, with the network emphasizing enterprise-grade applications like supply chain management and carbon offset tracking, which drive ongoing utility and adoption. Despite the bearish sentiment in 2024, the token’s stability has raised expectations for a potential recovery in the next market cycle.
Analysts predict a potential rebound in HBAR’s value, driven by broader crypto market growth and increased use of Hedera’s enterprise solutions. Forecasts suggest the token could trade between $0.27 and $0.68, with an average value of $0.35.
By 2030, HBAR might reach a peak of $10.46 in an optimistic scenario, while more conservative projections place its value between $1.6 and $3.6. This growth depends on its success in competing with Ethereum as a smart contract platform and expanding its ecosystem.
Some bold predictions suggest HBAR could soar to $25-$35, assuming widespread adoption and strong enterprise partnerships. Although speculative, these projections excite long-term investors.
The ongoing bull run has brought blessing in disguise for several crypto assets including those lacking any remarkable traction over the past few years. Ripple (XRP) is one of these assets that has recently come out from “basement” and reaching new highs. At the time of writing of this report, XRP was valued at $0.99, all set to touch $1.
Over the past week, XRP started to accelerate moderately from its inseparable price range while coinciding prosperous gains in Bitcoin price. However, in an unexpected turn, XRP price spiked over 22% in a single day and hit $0.99, on November 16, following the rumor of Gary Gensler’s departure from the U.S. SEC.
The probable reason behind XRP price surge is a leap of faith as the SEC is trying to get Ripple smacked over allegations of the company selling unregistered securities. The SEC first filed a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020 and the legal battle between both the parties has been going on and on since.
After winning the partial favor in its case against the SEC, Ripple started to look strong among all altcoins but the recent appeal by the SEC raised concern amid the ongoing bullrun. The U.S. SEC – under the leadership of chair person Gary Gensler – appealed the court ruling on October 18 regarding the XRP being a security.
Now as Gary Gensler is rumored to be stepping down – or forced to be by the Trump administration in future – Ripple has once again started to gain attention. As soon as news about Gensler’s potential departure started to spread in the market, XRP price started to skyrocket with it breaking 16 months high above $0.9 price mark.
According to data from TradingView, XRP is currently trading above $0.95 – up 74% in the past 7 days. Its price rose from the weekly low of $0.55 to as high as $0.98 while marching towards the most anticipated $1 price mark. XRP is also currently one of the biggest daily gainers with it surging over 20% in a single day.
While XRP is on its way to break the $1 barrier, it has a wide room to grow further and potentially eye for levels above $2 which it set in the past bull run of 2021. Although XRP needs a long run to break the all-time high of $3.317 – marked in January 2018.
XRPUSD – TradingView
If the current bullish sentiment towards XRP continues, it may not take longer for XRP to break to new highs. Given that the Ripple is undergoing significant developments – including potential clean chit in SEC case and the approval of spot XRP ETF – it is expected that XRP might revisit its past year gains in 2025.
Whether or not Gary Gensler steps down as the SEC chair, one thing is now for sure that XRP will hit new highs in coming months. The impressive surge of over 70% in XRP price over the past 7 days reflects that investors are now more optimistic for the future of Ripple. In addition, the ongoing cryptocurrency bullrun is likely to drive massive capital into the crypto market with leading altcoins – including XRP – witnessing huge demand from investors.
