The NYSC Management in Oyo State has reacted to the information circulating on social media about a Corps Member sent to jail in Ibadan, Oyo State, for criminal offence.
The Management in a statement by Odoba Abel,NYSC Oyo State Coordinator made the following clarifications;
“The said Ukanwa Ikechuwuku is now an ex-Corps Member who passed out of National Service in February 2023.
“Secondly, when he was serving, he collected a sum of Two Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand naira to purchase a physiotherapy machine for a woman at the police clinic where he was serving but failed to get the machine.
“Every attempt made by the woman to get a refund of her money from this ex-Corps Member proved abortive, therefore she decided to charge him to court for criminal offence”.
The State Coordinator therefore emphasized that the NYSC uniform is not an immunity against any form of criminality because the laws of the Federation applies to all and sundry.
He admonished Corps Members to always be of good behavior and adhere strictly to the core values of the NYSC Scheme in all their transactions.
