National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Ondo State has denied the purported kidnap of 10 corps members in the state.
Ondo NYSC spokesman, Bankole Simeone, in a statement on Wednesday said the news which had been spreading on social media was false.
“The news is not only false but baseless and unfounded. The management through the established procedure can authoritatively tell the general public, especially the parents and guardians not to panic as all corps members serving in all the local governments in the state or those who are currently in camp at Ikare-Akoko are safe, sound and healthy.
“We wish to advise the members of the press and other related agencies to avail themselves the friendly disposition of the State Coordinator, Mrs Grace Akpabio to verify the authenticity of any report before putting such in public domain.
“So as not to mislead the general public and other stakeholders of the noble Scheme,” the spokesman said.
Mr Simeone said the management had put all machinery and effective measures in place to keep corps members in the state safe from harm.
