By Alice Etuka, Abuja

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has raised an alarm about a pamphlet purportedly issued by the Scheme advising corps members to pay ransom in the event of kidnapping.

NYSC Spokesperson, Caroline Embu in statement in Thursday said while a similar document was presented to the Scheme ‘s management for consideration by a consultant in 2021, it was not adopted by the Scheme.

‘Management, therefore wishes to make it clear that the document being circulated is not an official NYSC publication and does not represent the Scheme’s policy regarding staff and Corps Members’ security; as such, it should be ignored.
