A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who went missing while serving in Bayelsa State has been found d+ad under tragic circumstances.
Okebaram Stanley Chimaroke, a Civil Engineering graduate and former Student Union Government president of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, was serving in Nembe Local Government Area when he reportedly disappeared.
According to information shared among colleagues and associates, his lifeless body was allegedly recovered from a body of water in Nembe after he was reportedly attacked by yet-to-be-identified assailants. However, authorities are yet to officially confirm the circumstances surrounding his d+ath.
The Bayelsa State Police Command had earlier launched a search after Chimaroke was reported missing. Security analyst Zagazola Makama reported that the case was filed at about 8:40 p.m. on July 25, 2026, by fellow corps member Aribisola Bis Isaac, accompanied by Adeola Marvelous.
Police sources said the Local Government Inspector informed them that the 27-year-old corps member, who was posted to serve in Nembe Creek, was last seen at about 8:00 p.m. on July 24. Repeated attempts to reach him through his phone numbers reportedly failed, raising concerns over his whereabouts.
Following the report, police operatives were deployed to the creek headquarters to begin search and investigation efforts.
Although reports now claim his body has been recovered, the Bayelsa State Police Command has yet to officially confirm the latest development or disclose the exact circumstances surrounding his death. Investigations are ongoing.
