A fake National Youth Service Corps member, Ogeh Bethel Chibuife, has been nabbed by the Nasarawa State Police Command for illegal entry into the Magaji Dan Yumusa Orientation Camp, Keffi, the state capital.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the state police spokesperson, Ramhan Nansel, on Thursday.
Nansel said the suspect, who is an extra year student of Public Administration, from the Ebonyi State University, sneaked into the state NYSC camp for the 21-day orientation programme meant for the 2024 Batch A, Stream 1 corps members, and was discovered during a headcount.
He said the case was reported to the police by an NYSC official on Sunday, and she was apprehended by officers of the force.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect was a student of Ebonyi State University, Faculty of Management Science and Department of Public Administration.
She confessed that she was supposed to have graduated in 2022, but had a lot of spillover courses, and in a bid to cover up the lies she had told her parents, she went to the market and purchased NYSC uniforms/other items meant for corps members and sneaked into the camp in order to take pictures and send to her parents before nemesis caught up with her,” he said.
