NYSC Highlights Fraudulent Mobilisation by University of Calabar

In a recent statement, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) addressed a significant case of fraudulent mobilisations linked to the University of Calabar (UNICAL). Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the Director-General of NYSC, revealed that amongst the 54 “graduates” improperly enlisted for the national service, one was a bread seller who had no affiliation with the institution. This incident is part of a disturbing trend identified by the NYSC, which has led to the cancellation of certificates for a total of 178 individuals, including a previous batch of 101 graduates whose certifications were deemed invalid.

The revelation came in a communiqué issued by Eddy Megwa, the Director of Information and Public Relations at NYSC, detailing the ongoing efforts to combat fraudulent recruitment practices. Notably, 19 additional candidates who sought online mobilisation were also thwarted from participating in the scheme, further reinforcing the NYSC’s commitment to integrity in its processes.

General Ahmed commended the proactive stance of Professor Florence Obi, the Vice-Chancellor of UNICAL, who alerted the NYSC to the irregularities in the list of mobilised graduates. Her diligence has been instrumental in identifying discrepancies that allowed unqualified individuals to infiltrate the service, including generating false matriculation numbers and courses.

This episode underscores the importance of vigilance in maintaining the credibility of the NYSC program, which plays a pivotal role in national youth engagement. The NYSC remains resolute in its mission to ensure that only qualified graduates participate in the national service scheme, safeguarding its integrity and the value of its certificates.

Boulder, Colorado, became the scene of a violent incident on Sunday, as a man attacked a group of demonstrators with a makeshift flamethrower, injuring eight people. The FBI is investigating the event as a “targeted terror attack.”

The victims, four women and four men aged between 52 and 88, were participating in a “Run For Their Lives” event organized to raise awareness for Israeli captives held in Gaza. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, allegedly yelled, “Free Palestine,” during the assault, according to FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek.

Emergency services transported the injured to local hospitals, with initial reports indicating serious injuries. Soliman was taken into custody and also received hospital treatment for injuries sustained during the incident. While formal charges have not yet been announced, officials have stated their intention to hold him “fully accountable.”

Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn refrained from speculation but confirmed the victims’ injuries were consistent with having been set on fire. He emphasized the peaceful nature of the demonstration and condemned the attack as “unacceptable,” urging the community to focus on supporting the victims and their families.

The incident occurs amidst rising tensions in the United States related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has fueled an increase in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents. The attack has drawn condemnation from Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who decried “hate-filled acts of any kind,” and from Boulder’s Jewish community, which expressed sadness and heartbreak.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the attack. Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reported that witnesses described the suspect using what appeared to be Molotov cocktails. The FBI’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the incident and the potential for federal charges related to terrorism. The events in Boulder highlight the growing polarization and potential for violence surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within the United States.
