NYSC Members Recruited For Prostitution In Minna

Disgusting report reveals how a cartel in Minna, the
Niger State capital, has turned National Youths Service
Corps (NYSC) orientation camp into a recruitment
ground for “young prostitutes.”
The cartel, according to findings, consists of elitist
group; politicians, journalists with the active connivance
of some NYSC officials, who approve the requests of
the cartel to post selected female Corps members to a
particular government agency, boards and parastatals.
The unsuspecting female Corps members soon
succumb to their wishes after promises of not only
posting them to Government House or choice areas with
mouth-watering incentives, including furnishing house
for them to stay throughout the duration of their one
year national service for sexual satisfaction.
Selected/recruited Corps members by the cartel from
the Paiko NYSC Camp are always included on the list of
those posted to serve in the Protocol Department,
Government House to cover their tracks, the source
said.
As a way of rewarding the girls, parties to celebrate
birthdays by each of them are organised if they wished,
end of their service year is usually celebrated for them
as they are quickly replaced with new intakes almost
immediately by the cartel, the source said.
To avoid the prying eyes of unsuspecting public, the
male partners under the cover of being part of the
Government House Corpers’ lodge behind the Idris
Legbo Kutigi International conference centre, Minna visit
their partners in the unholy act at odd hours.
Investigations reveal that the dislodgement of the
journalists and their politician collaborators from the
Government House Corpers’ Lodge began when they
started having issues among themselves and their
activities became an open secret. This, the source said,
almost cost one of the protocol officers in government
house his job.
Reacting to the developments in an interview, Niger
State NYSC coordinator, Mr. Steven Ehoda-Adi, said
that he was not aware of any such cartel existing in the
state.
Steven however told our correspondent that the NYSC in
the state ensures proper documentations for Corps
members deployed to government and recognized
corperate organizations when it becomes absolutely
necessary with reasons in accordance with the laws
establishing the NYSC.
Steven however added that the NYSC has little or no
control over the private life of Corps members. He said,
“I am not aware of any cartel recruiting Corps members
for the purpose of prostitution. I am rather shocked
hearing that some of your colleagues, journalists are
actively involved in this unholy act”.
