The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a fake National Youth Service Corp member, Ogeh Bethel Chibuife at the Magaji Dan Yumusa Orientation Camp, Keffi.
A statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the state, DSP Ramhan Nansel said the arrest followed a complaint lodged at the Keffi Divisional Headquarters by a Staff of NYSC.
According to the statement, the suspect was discovered after a head count was conducted on all Corps members undergoing a week’s orientation exercise at the camp.
The PPRO stated that the suspect, who was discovered to be a student of Ebonyi State University, Faculty of Management Science and Department of Public Administration gained unlawful entrance into 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.
