The group in a statement released in Abuja on Monday 27th April 2020 by its Director General, Comrade Obinna Nwaka, maintained that the food stuff were carefully packaged without sand or stones while describing the perpetuators of such act as hungry disgruntled elements who are also enemies of good governance only bent on disabusing the minds of people and tarnishing the good image of high public office holders using fake news and propagandas.

The CYMS urged the beneficiaries, general public especially the FCT residents to disregard the purported news and focus more on how to be part of the program while urging them to also pay attention to the NCDC medical advise and adhere strictly to the instructions of Federal government.
