The NYSC temporary orientation camp in Paikoro, Niger state was invaded by hoodlums who got into the camp and carted away with items belonging to the corp members as well as facilities provided by the NYSC.


According to reports, the hoodlums struck in the early hours of Monday morning as corp members were preparing to leave the camp to areas of their primary assignment.

The robbers paraded themselves as NYSC officials until they were found out and the security personnel were alerted to their nefarious activities.

Sources reveal that the security agents were able to arrest one suspect in connection with the theft as well as recover some of the stolen items.

Items recovered include six fans that were purchased for the male and female hostels after it was traced to the staff quarters of the Government Secondary School.

The NYSC Coordinator for Niger State, Mrs Theresa Arokoyo, said that the incident occurred because NYSC camp was in a temporary location adding that this is not the first time such will occur.

“This development always compels the NYSC authority to spend extra money each time we resume for orientation," she said.

Niger State Acting Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Ketso, reiterated that the government was making efforts to ensure that the NYSC permanent orientation camp will be ready before the end of 2017.
