The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has dismissed the contents of a viral video alleging that the management plans to deploy youth corps members to Niger Republic to fight a war.
Clarifying its position in Abuja on Saturday, Mr Eddy Megwa, the NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations, said there was” no iota of truth in the story ” saying it is the fabrication of content and skit creators
“Management wishes to state that there is no iota of truth in the story fabricated by the purveyor, a skit and content creator.
“The public, especially youth corps members, prospective 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.”
The NYSC spokesman said law enforcement agencies would stop at nothing to bring the purveyors of the story to justice..
The said video had quoted the Director- General of NYSC, Brigadier – General YD Ahmed as saying that the corps members are potential soldiers reserved for war.
