By Faith Awa Maji
The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested and arraigned a fake Corp member before a Chief Magistrate court in Keffi for the offence of Criminal Trespass, Impersonation and Forgery.
This is sequel to a complaint lodged at Keffi Divisional Headquarters by a Staff of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC); that on 25/2/2024 at about 2030hrs, head count was conducted on all Corps members undergoing 3 weeks orientation exercise at Magaji Dan Yumusa Orientation Camp, Keffi.
Consequently, one Ogeh Bethel Chibuife ‘f’ 23yrs of age was found to have gained unlawful entrance into the camp and was arrested by Police Operatives.
A statement by the Nasarawa State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Rahman Nansel noted that the “investigation revealed that the suspect was a student of Ebonyi State University, Faculty of Management Science and Department of Public Administration.
“She confessed that she was supposed to have graduated in 2022 but had a lot of spill over courses, and in a bid to cover up the lies she had made to her parents, she went to the market and purchased NYSC uniforms/other items meant for Corps members and sneaked into the Camp in order to take pictures and send to her parents before nemesis caught up with her.
“The Commissioner of Police, Nasarawa State Command, CP Umar Shehu Nadada psc, mni hereby calls on all those nursing ambition to toe the path of these fake corps member to have a rethink as the long arm of the law will catch up with them.”
