The National Youth Service Corps has arrested a 200-level student who allegedly obtained a fake degree certificate and was undergoing the orientation exercise at the Zamfara State camp.
It  was gathered that the NYSC last Friday apprehended the student, identified only as Rose, who was a 200-level Journalism undergraduate at a university in Benin Republic.
The NYSC Director-General, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, confirmed the arrest of the student to newsmen. He said the Benin Republic university wrote to the scheme when its officials discovered her on the social media, posting her photographs in the NYSC uniform in the Zamfara State camp. She was undergoing the Batch C Stream 1 orientation course before she was arrested.
The DG noted that the student had been brought to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and handed over to officials of the Department of State Services DSS for further investigations.
Brig. Gen Ibrahim warned that the NYSC would clamp down on fake graduates and certificates, adding that anyone arrested would be handed over for prosecution.
The DG said, “The clampdown on fake graduates and certificates is yielding more results. On Friday, one of the universities in Cotonou, Benin Republic saw their 200-level student in the NYSC uniform on the social media. She is supposed to be a 200-level of the university studying journalism. But she went and purchased a fake certificate from another Benin Republic university and now served in the camp in Zamfara State. So, her classmates saw her on the social media and raised the alarm to the university, which then alerted and wrote me"

“The university said they recognised the efforts of the scheme in nabbing fake graduates and they were not a party to her fake certificate. So we got her arrested in Zamfara State. She was brought to Abuja and we have arranged with the DSS to take her away for further interrogation.”

Opinion President Muhammadu Buhari during operational visit to troops in Maiduguri, Borno State Finally, the brand of President Muhammadu Buhari which Nigerians have been craving for is gradually manifesting. After months and years of crying bitter tears of lamentation to the bloc in Aso Rock (popularly known as The Presidency) to present the president to the Nigerian public to see and hear from him, Muhammadu Buhari is now speaking to the Nigerian public. Not only to the public but also to the criminals in the language they understand. The President which Nigerians have always craved for and wished they had; is a president who talks to his people and meets with his people. A president who takes action. A president who is seen in Nigeria and not only on screen from Aso Rock (or a recorded president). We are gradually witnessing that president.Isn't it beautiful? Nigerians are not demanding for much. All we want is a secured Nigeria guaranteed by a president who feels, talks and mee
