The National Youth Service Corps NYSC scheme has handed over about 65 corps members to the Nigerian Police for allegedly presenting fake certificates to the scheme on registration.
According to reports, the suspected corps members were discovered and fished out from different NYSC camps all over the country during the 2019 Batch B Stream II orientation course. They were said to be caught by the scheme’s verification officers during registration.
Recall that the NYSC is set to combat all forms of fraud as it announced its collaboration with the anti-graft agency Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in July to put an end to the mobilisation of unqualified graduates for the one-year mandatory national service. It also noted that it will include the date of births of corps members on their discharge certificate to avoid disparity in age.
