The NYSC Management has debunked allegations of killing of two Corps Members in Jos, Plateau State. This was contained in a statement signed by Eddy Megwa, Director, Press and Public Relations. The statement read in part:
“The attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to a fake news making the rounds on the social media, intended to instill fears in the minds of Corps Members, their parents and loved ones.
“The originators of the news claimed that two Corps Members were shot dead at NYSC Secreteriat, Jos, and other falsehoods
“Management wishes to restate that nothing of such ever happened. The fabricators of the story are all out to cause mischief”.
The statement further advised the general public, especially Corps Members to disregard the fake news.
It also stated that the welfare of Corps Members shall continue to be accorded top priority by the National Youth Sevice Corps.
