The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other
Related Offences Commission, ICPC, on Thursday arrested 17 fake members of the
National Youth Service Corps in the Federal Capital Territory according to the
Commission’s spokesman, Folu Olamiti.
Olamiti stated that the arrests were
made at Kubwa on Thursday evening while they were posing and taking pictures
outside the camp during the passing out ceremonies. ICPC operatives stormed the
NYSC Orientation Camp in Kubwa based on intelligence reports and effected the
arrest of the suspects made up of 8 females and 9 males.
Preliminary investigation showed that 15
of the fake corpers claimed to have enrolled in degree courses run by
consultancy services as follows: Six from University of Calabar, six from University
of Jos, one from Ebonyi State University,
one from Federal University of Technology, Owerri and one from Crown Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti.
One of the other two fake corpers never
attended any university but said she was desirous of getting a Discharge
Certificate. The other, a young man, impersonated his sister, a genuine Corp
Member currently receiving medical treatment abroad, in order to collect her
Discharge Certificate.
