Speaking in Abeokuta, the Ogun State NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs. Josephine Bakare, disclosed this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abeokuta at a sensitisation programme for corps members.

Kazaure further urged corps members to be on the lookout for miscreants who disguise as corps members to perpetrate mischief.
