NYSC Boss Cautions Corps Members Against Cyber Crime

The Director-General  of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has warned corps members against involving in cyber crime and other fraudulent acts which could endanger their lives.
Ibrahim gave the warning when he paid an unscheduled visit to the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Dankin Gari, Kebbi, yesterday.
He said, “I advise you against indulging in fraudulent acts which will endanger your lives.
”‘I have become a pastor and an imam preaching against crimes across all the camps; you must shun social vices such as: cultism, cyber crimes, 419 and robbery.
”Please, value your lives and be good ambassadors of your different families and the country.
”A corps member was shot last week for robbery. What did he steal? A handset.  That was not good news or a pleasant one at all.
”You can imagine the embarrassment he had caused himself, his parents and the scheme. Crime does not pay; please do not indulge in it.
”Once the NYSC completed its investigation on an alleged case against any corps members, it  will just hand over such corps members  to the relevant  security agencies to conduct  their own investigations.
”And we will call your parents that their son or daughter was caught in robbery or cyber crimes. Let us not indulge in them,” he said.
He also said that corps members who sought relocation from their original state of posting might not be considered for any awards by the NYSC.
He said that such would have violated the rules governing projects’ implementation and given of awards by the scheme.
