She just needs to claim that she paid someone to handle it for her, and this was the certificate she got. If it’s fake, she didn’t know... then she can go ahead and apply for a real exemption. Case closed

NgeneUkwenu:
The woman's purported certificate is clearly a forged one.

baby124:

If she relocated to the country after 30, she is not required to do NYSC is she? The exemption certificate was not even necessary. She could say she had the wrong information at the time so she applied for exemption and got the certificate. Which she did not realize was fraudulent

boostdom:


It's not as "case closed" as you think.

1. Claiming she paid someone to handle it for her does not exempt her from the charge of conspiracy to forgery. She claiming ignorance will not fly because ignorance of the law is not a remedy for breaches.

2. She is not eligible for exemption, thus even when she applies, she will be denied.

As a consequence of submitting a certificate she is not eligible for, and likely forged, she can be prosecuted for the criminal charges of legal misrepresentation, conspiracy to forgery and forgery.

Gradually but steadily. Premium times has taken over investigative journalism in Nigeria from Sahara reporters.

Sowore has joined badt gang.

Premium times should keep it clean if they want to last

aribisala0:

She is not eligible for exemption you are 100% correct

The forgery thing is more diffiicult to prove since the alleged signatory is dead. She does not have to cconstitutes she "paid" and even if she does that is not a defence of "ignorance of law" but acting in good faith.

If someone comes to my shop to spend fake money and I in turn go out to spend it in ignorance that the money is fake that is a reasonable defence

That is not a claim of gnorance of law so there is a need to make a distinction between a defence of ignorance of law and ignorance of facts.

If I give you a glass of water in good faith and it turns out to be poisoned and kills you that is unfortunate but without Mens Rea there is no crime
I am sure some illiterates will soon say I am defending her

The forgery thing is not as difficult to prove as you may think. The DG does not physically sign certificates. His signature specimen is available in the system and this is mass appended on the ELIGIBLE certificates.

Now, what constitutes "ELIGIBLE" certificates? Certificates that satisfy the discharge or exemption requirements. Kemi's does not.

Also, I think you are poorly informed on what constitutes defence of ignorance. If you are caught spending fake money because you want to claim someone spent it in your shop, then be aware that this does not exempt you from the charge of counterfeiting. Ignorance is not a valid excuse in itself. This is why those caught with stolen items are charged for possession of stolen items.

If you give me a glass of water and it turns out to be poisoned and I drink and die, you will be charged for manslaughter. This is why people who are commissioners in accidents where another dies are charged with manslaughter, if murder can't be proved.

How can you expect Folakemi ADEOSUN to be on the list when she was not married to Mr Adeosun then

Olodo!

Masterppower:
It can not happen.

I say it will never happen...


What kind of sophistication is this...

Truthcat:
Igbos should stop being hypocrites and lead by example by post Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's Nysc certificate or shut the hell up. If your sister didn't need nysc certificate why should mine need it? You can only address this issue from the ground up.

Jokerman:


So this is about supporting your own tribe now??

If you can upload a picture of your certificate, blur out your name, then this matter would be concluded immediately.
