The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says there is no plan to deploy youth corps members to Niger Republic to fight a war.
Mr Eddy Megwa, the NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations, clarified this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
His clarification is in response to a viral video alleging that NYSC members would be deployed to Niger Republic.
“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.”
According to Megwa, law enforcement agencies would stop at nothing to bring the purveyors of the story to justice.
