The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has debunked reports alleging that corps members would be deployed to Niger Republic by the federal government to fight for the restoration of the country’s democracy.
NYSC’s director of press and public relations, Eddy Megwa disclosed this in a press statement.
The scheme described the news as fake.
He urged the general public, especially corps members, prospective corps members and their parents to disregard the story in its entirety.
“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.
“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,” the statement said.
