The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) have uncovered a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
orientation camp at Tammah village, Nassarawa Local Government Area of
Nassarawa State, with 62 ‘corps
members.’The fake corps members made up of 44 females and 18 males, were
arrested on a routine surveillance of the command.
In a
statement signed by its spokesman Mr Okeh Emmanuel, the NSCDC said the
“fake corpers were arrested while undergoing training with standard
facilities such as an obstacle crossing, man-o-war drill and an open
field for marching exercises”.
It was revealed that the fake
corps members paid sums ranging from N120, 000 to N200, 000 before being
admitted to the camp. Some of the suspects in their confessions claimed
to be students of evening classes at the University of Jos, Plateau
State and feigned ignorance of the fact that it was a fake camp, saying
they were lured into it out of desperation as without an NYSC discharge
certificate, one would not be able to secure a job in future.
However, the suspects were charged to the Upper Area Court Keffi, where
after pleading guilty to a three count charge, were convicted and
sentenced to two years imprisonment with option of N30,000 fine each.
It would be recalled that in 2010, 87 fake corps members were arrested
from an illegal camp in Angwa Lebu of Keffi LG of Nasarawa state and in
2012, 79 fake corps members were arrested from a hotel in the same
state.

Meet The World's Youngest Father.
Sean Stewart became the youngest father in
Britain yesterday when his girlfriend gave birth to a healthy son. Sean
is 12 and girlfriend Emma Webster is 16-year-old girlfriend
The pair, who are neighbours at Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, were 11 and 15 when Emma became pregnant. Sean and his mother moved next door to the Websters in November 1996 and he became Emma's boyfriend shortly after that. He is a 7th year at Margaret Beaufort School in the nearby village of Riseley. Emma is studying for her GCSEs - including one in child care - at Sharnbrook Upper School.
Last summer, Sean said he would stand by Emma and be there for the baby. "I was shocked at first when I was told Emma was pregnant but I am all right about it now." Emma said she thought Sean had told her he was the same age as she was when they started going out.

movie, Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.
But despite looking her best, the expectant reality star has revealed that she
isn't finding her pregnancy as easy as she had hoped:
'Being pregnant is not as easy as my sister [Kourtney Kardashian] made it look or as my mom [Kris Jenner] has made it look.'
'It's a little painful at times....I've gotten sick a couple of times and that puts you out especially when you travel. It's getting a little more difficult.'
Kim also revealed that her pregnancy cravings are rather healthy: 'I'm craving carrots and ranch dressing,' she said. 'I used to love sweets, I used to love chocolate, can't even eat chocolate!'
The actress, whose first baby with rapper Kanye West is due in July, has continued with her busy filming
schedule.
On Sunday, the reality star was off again, tweeting a picture of herself and
best friend Rachel Roy leaving Atlanta. 'Miss my baby already, ' she said,
referring to Kanye.

'I like to be active,' she said. 'But I've been chilling out. I took a week off, just to rest and it was amazing.'
