The Management of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has explained that Ukanwa Ikechuwuku who is now an ex-Corps member passed out of National Service in February 2023, defrauded Police officer and was charged to court.
In a statement released by the Scheme Spokesman, Eddy Megwa on Friday over the information circulating on social media about a Corps Member sent to jail in Ibadan, Oyo State, for criminal offense.
While clarifying tho, the NYSC Management explained that the said ex-Corper when serving collected a sum of N255,000 to purchase a physiotherapy machine for a woman at the police clinic where he served but failed to get the machine.
Every attempt made by the woman to get a refund of her money from this ex-Corps member proved abortive, therefore she decided to charge him to court for criminal offence.
The NYSC management wish to emphasize that the scheme uniform is not an immunity against any form of criminality because the laws of the Federation applies to all and sundry.
All Corps Members are therefore by this statement admonished to always be of good behavior and adhere strictly to the core values of the NYSC Scheme in all their transactions.
