The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said that contrary to reports it does not plan to deploy corps members to Niger Republic to restore democracy in the troubled country.
Spokesman of the NYSC, Eddy Megwa, made this known in a press statement on Saturday.
Mr Megwa urged the general public, especially corps members, prospective corps members and their parents to disregard the claims credited to an unnamed skit maker.
The statement reads; “The attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to a video circulating on the social media alleging that Corps Members would be deployed to Niger Republic by the Federal Government to fight a war for the restoration of democracy in the country.

“Management wishes to state that there is no iota of truth in the story fabricated by the purveyor, a skit and content creator, purposed to drive traffic to his platform.
“The general public, especially Corps Members, prospective Corps 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.
“Law Enforcement Agencies will stop at nothing to bring the purveyors of the story to justice.”
