NYSC Explains How Undercover Reporter Was Mobilized Twice

The National Youth Service Corps Scheme (NYSC) has stated that an undercover reporter, Umar Audu, was able to be mobilized twice for the compulsory youth services scheme, undetected because he had changed his email and phone number while inputting his data.

Recall that Audu, who investigated certificate racketeering syndicate in neighbouring African countries like Benin Republic and Togo, was earlier mobilised for the compulsory one-year programme in 2018 and was also mobilised for the same programme in 2023.
