The Nasarawa State Police Command has announced the arrest of a fictitious National Youth Service Corps member, Ogeh Bethel Chibuife, at the Magaji Dan Yumusa Orientation Camp in Keffi.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, the arrest resulted from a complaint submitted at the Keffi Divisional Headquarters by a NYSC staff member.
According to the statement, the suspect was located after doing a head count on all Corps members attending a week-long orientation exercise at the camp.
According to the PPRO, the suspect, who was revealed to be a student at Ebonyi State University’s Faculty of Management Science and Department of Public Administration, unlawfully entered the camp.
“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’d made to her parents, she went to the market and purchased NYSC uniforms/other items meant for Corps members and sneaked into the Camp to take pictures and send to her parents before nemesis caught up with her.
“The Commissioner of Police, Nasarawa State Command, CP Umar Shehu Nadada psc, mni hereby calls on all those nursing ambitions to toe the path of these fake corps members to have a rethink as the long arm of the law will catch up with them”, the statement added.
