Ten persons pretending to be corps members in various camps where
orientation exercises are taking place have been arrested by authorities
of the National Youth Service Corps.
Spokesperson for the organisation, Adenike Adeyemi, in a statement said
that three of the culprits apprehended in Taraba State claimed to have
graduated from Istop University, Cotonou.
They are Nasiru Yau from Mass Communication Department, Sheu Muktar,
Computer Science, and Iliyasu Usman from Sociology Department.
The NYSC said it discovered that the culprits could neither write nor
say anything logical about their certificates or courses of study.
In a similar vein, NYSC Verification Officers also detected two persons
claiming to have graduated from Imo State University in Katsina State
