Share This


Following a development in the NYSC scheme, where all foreign Nigerian graduates must upload their certificates for verification before deployment, which saw almost 75% supposed graduates declined to do so, a student identified simply as Rose, deployed to Zamfara State for Batch C Stream 1 orientation course, was arrested with a fake certificate obtained from a university in Benin Republic. 

The 200-level journalism student of a university in Benin Republic was handed over to the Department of State Services by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) authorities. 

 Investigation reveals that, she got the certificate from another university, also from Benin Republic.

Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim(NYSC Director-General), said the student was nabbed after her institution alerted them when she posted her photographs in NYSC uniform in the Zamfara camp online.

 

He said: “On Friday, one of the universities in Cotonou, Benin Republic saw their 200-Level student in the NYSC uniform on the social media. She is supposed to be a 200-Level of the university studying journalism.

“But she went and purchased a fake certificate from another Benin Republic university and now served in the camp in Zamfara. So, her classmates saw her on social media and raised the alarm to the university, which then alerted and wrote me.

“The university said they recognised the efforts of the scheme in nabbing fake graduates and they were not a party to her fake certificate.

“So we got her arrested in Zamfara. She was brought to Abuja and we have arranged with the DSS to take her away.”
