Fake NYSC Camp busted


I discovered this news late (it happened in August 2010) but I still have to share it with you. A fake NYSC camp?!! unbelievable but it happened. Read on..

Last Monday uproar along Keffi- Akwaga Road, Nasarawa state, got residents of the area wondering what the problem was, as members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) fled in different directions.

Decency was thrown to the dust as some of them reportedly fled half nude and bare footed, jumping into any available means of transportation, from a camp located about a kilometre behind a police post, which is used as orientation of the NYSC members.
In their confused states, most of them fled, leaving their property at the mercy of the invaders who were later discovered to be officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC). However, some of the unlucky ones were whisked away in the NSCDC vehicle.
Not too long, reason for the invasion was discovered to be that the orientation camp which has been in existence for some time was illegal. Other startling revelations about the clamp down according to spokesman for the NSCDC, Mr Okeh Emmanuel, revealed that some of the corps members were students from different higher institutions of learning who did not graduate owing to problems associated with carry over courses. Others, according to Emmanuel, were students of satellite campuses, Distance learning programmes and Part time study centres, who are not permitted to partake in the compulsory one year youth service.
Preliminary investigation according to Emmanuel, revealed that a syndicate which key members are on the run, instituted the fake orientation camp. This, they succeeded in doing with the alleged connivance of some key members of the NYSC headquarters, Abuja.

Emmanuel stated further that preliminary investigation also revealed that a total number of three hundred fake Corp members went through the compulsory one month orientation at the camp and were awaiting deployment to their respective areas of primary assignment which was to take place on Tuesday 27th July, 2010, when luck ran against them.
Astonished at the discovery, Emmanuel hinted: “As an organized crime, the whole exercise is a syndicate thing made up of a cartel all over the country with agents both in the tertiary Institutions, NYSC Office and so on.

“Investigation so far revealed that the Agent at the South-East in whose account money was deposited by one of the victims as indicated in the teller, is called Chinedu Ogene Uchendu while that of South-South axis is called Osita, and Steve Agabi, a staff of University of Jos coordinated the axis. From the arrested persons’ statement, there is a link between the coordinators and staff of NYSC headquarter, Abuja, where one Mr. Abraham was mentioned”. A nursing mother was also arrested

A total of sixty-nine fake corps members according to him were arrested. Among them was a nursing mother who reportedly came to the camp with her child. During interrogation, Emmanuel said the arrested fake corps members confessed to have paid as much as N70,000 to N150,000 to their agents , in order to take part in the compulsory one year service at the end of which they would be issued NYSC discharge certificates. They were said to have also confessed that the gentle man agreement did not include their benefitting from the Federal government monthly allowance.

Expressing shock at the dexterity with which the cartel operates, Emmanuel said, “As at the time of parading the fake Corpers before members of the press by the Deputy Commandant General, Operations, Mr.Evans Ewurum, the representative of NYSC Director General Dr. John Abuluera, Director of Procurement attested to the fact that insinuation and suspicion about the influx of fake Corps members have been on air and as a matter of fact that the DG had set in motion all necessary machinery to track down suspects.

“The Director of Mobilisation, Mrs Michala stressed that the agency with the aid of the DG will not relent in their pursuit of purging the system of fake corps members, as well as hunting for personnel that are likely to be involved in this type of heinous crime. She also assured that they would not only lose their job but face prosecution in line with the law of the land”

The collaboration with the various security agencies of government according to him was what lead to the arrest by Civil Defense Officers, adding that the arrest would serve as deterrent to others.
The arrested corps members as gathered, were immediately charged to an upper Area Court, Keffi for further prosecution.

MY TWO CUPS OF RICE!

Hi slims,
I heard about your blog from a friend and I decided to share this with you.
I'm laughing now but this incident was not funny the day it happened.

I was a corper in Jos, Plateau state. that is, the northern state of Nigeria.
On this fateful day, I was broke and didn't have cash, all I had was 2 cups of rice and a few other ingredients. so I woke up early and cooked this rice without meat. I ate some of it and left the rest beside my cupboard, in our open kitchen (i didn't have a fridge) then I went off to my place of primary assignment.
After work that day, I saw some of my guys and they were complaining of hunger, this was toward month end (we had not recieved our allowance for the month yet). I then invited them to follow me home since I had cooked rice at home.
They joined me and we walked about a mile before we got to my house. As we just got into the house I sensed something was wrong but i didn't know what it was. Just then, the first goat ran out and jumped on my pal's leg and ran away.
We all panicked but I ran into the kitchen and there I saw the second goat still eating what was left of my rice on the floor of the kitchen! hey!!!
We chased that goat that day till we were tired.
plus we were all hungry!!!!
My friends had walked that whole distance to come and chase goat in my house.
from that day they named my house ANIMAL FARM.
the joys of NYSC!... nice blog.
