The Management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has dismissed a video report circulating on social media alleging that Corps Members would be deployed to the Niger Republic by the Federal Government to fight a war for the restoration of democracy in the country.
In a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations of NYSC, Eddy Megwa, disclosed that such a report is baseless and has no iota of truth in it, but a fabricated video by a skit and content creator purposely meant to drive traffic to his platform.
The statement reads in full:
RE: CORPS MEMBERS TO BE DEPLOYED TO NIGER REPUBLIC TO FIGHT WAR TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY
The attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to a video circulating on social media alleging that Corps Members would be deployed to the Niger Republic by the Federal Government to fight a war for the restoration of democracy in the country.
The 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.
The general public, especially Corps Members, prospective Corps Members, and their parents should disregard the story which borders on criminality in its entirety.
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.
