The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says anyone caught unlawfully in possession of its uniforms will face a three-year jail term.
The Director-General of the scheme, Shu’aibu Ibrahim, spoke recently, while reacting to the recent mob attack on its Abuja orientation camp.
There were reports of how a mob invaded the NYSC camp on Tuesday, and carted away items including mattresses and foodstuffs amid the unrests trailing the #EndSARS protest.
The NYSC D-G condemned the incident, wondering why the attackers would invade the camp, which is not known for housing COVID-19 palliatives.
He advised the youth to return the uniforms, while urging them to key into government policies to improve their lives, adding that the NYSC was established for the country’s development and the scheme had contributed a lot.
There have been attacks on private and government-owned properties across the country following the crisis that erupted as a result of the #EndSARS protests aimed at tackling police brutality.
