NYSC member files for redeployment over pregnant wife
Oluwanishola said his mind was unsettled because his wife was also asthmatic, and he had to file for redeployment.
He met friends who advised him to get a fake medical report and drugs so he could lie that he was sick.
However, when he met with the official, he told her the truth about his pregnant wife, and the woman collected his file and asked him to go.
Oluwanishola said he thought the redeployment would not go through because he didn’t use the medical report.
