The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has dismissed video reports making its rounds on social media suggesting that corps members would be deployed by federal government to Niger Republic to fight a war for the restoration of democracy in the country.
NYSC in a statement signed by Eddy Megwa, Director of Press and Public Relations described the reports as baseless.
The said reports has raised concern among Corps Members and their families
“Management wishes to state that there is no iota of truth in the story fabricated by the purveyor, a skit and content creator, purposed to drive traffic to his platform.
“The general public, especially Corps Members, prospective Corps Members and their parents should disregard the story which borders on criminality in its entirety.
“Content and skit makers are strongly advised to desist from spreading false information capable of subverting the peace of the nation.
“Law Enforcement Agencies will stop at nothing to bring the purveyors of the story to justice” Eddy Megwa said.
