The National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) and Bauchi State Government have vehemently debunked reports that over 50 corps members at the Wailo Orientation camp, Bauchi were killed in a bomb blast in the early hours of Wednesday.
The report was circulated from a posting on a social media website.
The Director of the State NYSC, Nuhu Kwaghe, who debunked the report, describing it as 'wicked and callous', said that the over 1,300 corps members deployed to the state are'safe and in good health'.
Kwaghe told THISDAY: “You are in Bauchi and if anything happened you will be aware. Nothing has happened like that at all. All is well in the camp right now and the corps members are on the parade ground as I am speaking with you now.”
One of the corps members, who spoke with our correspondent at the camp, Miss Faith Penuel Thauthau said the rumour came to her as a surprise.
