The National Youth Service Corps has said that it arrested a total of 65 intending corps members during its just-concluded Batch B Stream 2 Orientation Course, for allegedly tendering fake certificates.

The NYSC authorities, in a statement made available to our correspondent, said on Monday that the defaulting corps members, who were caught in orientation camps across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, had been handed over to the police for “further investigation and possible prosecution.”

Recall that in the last week of August 2019 when the orientation was in its second week the corps noted that it apprehended over “50 unqualified graduates who came with fake certificates to the orientation camps” and attempted to get registered. The fake graduates were consequently decamped.

Our correspondent had also reported earlier that 25 persons were arrested during the first week of the orientation nationwide for allegedly submitting fake certificates.

It was reported that in Katsina about six people were caught and the NYSC identified two of them as Blessing Offor, who paraded a Bachelor of Science certificate in Insurance and Actuarial Science, and Chidinma Ngozi, who submitted a certificate in Bachelor of Arts in English Education .

Also in Taraba State, the NYSC caught six persons with three of the suspects identified as; Nasiru Yau, Shehu Mukhtar and Illiyasu Usman.

The three persons all claimed to have finished from the Isfop University of Cotonou in the Republic of Benin.

In Kano State, the NYSC had said it could not register 108 prospective corps members posted to the state for presenting questionable certificates and other infractions.

The Kano State Coordinator of the scheme, Mr Ladan Baba, also said that 1,700 prospective corps members were deployed to the state, but 1,592 were registered.

In the statement, the NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, noted that the NYSC Director-General, Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, warned that unqualified home-based and foreign-trained Nigerians would no longer pass through the scheme.

they were missing something
they didn't come with their affidavits

They are learning from Buhari.

When would they crack down on political office holders with Affidavit?

It concerns those it concern

Hmm... Forged results or they graduated from a school that is unaccredited?
In other news, I don't like the new Nairaland design. Seun, what were you thinking when you allowed them change it?

Everything is becoming so fake!

Ok

Is it by force to be a graduate?

So they cannot swear common affidavits in our numerous esteemed courts of law to back up their certificates and substantiate their degrees??
Come on na..

Lol who graduate epp?

Ordinary affidavit, they no fit swear.

They are only walking in the footsteps of their leader.

I think it's high time we went digital, let institutions upload certificates of PCMs on NYSC database.....sadly, some of these school admins are corrupt...I know people who still had carry over, and were mobilised before me... this now beg the question, Who issued them statement of result, was their result given AMNESTY like our PRESIDENT�
