NYSC:281 Fake Corps Members Caught in Niger State

The National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has discovered about 281 fake corps members at the Niger state orientation camp during screening.

The state coordinator of NYSC, Mr. Steven Ehoda-adi, who made this disclosure said that the fake corpers have been sent out of the camp after failing to present their call-up letters.

Ehoda-adi said shortly after the closing ceremony of the 2014 Batch B orientation exercise in Paiko that those affected had nothing to show as having qualified for admission into the camp.

According to him, some of them gave the excuse of being attacked by armed robbers on their way thereby losing their call up letters, others claimed to have misplaced them while some only presented photocopies of the letters which he said is not acceptable.

Declaring the orientation camp closed, Governor Mua’zu Babangida Aliyu said despite the insecurity in the country occasioned by the activities of the Boko Haram, the unity of the country is not negotiable.
