Police Arrests Addide Manager for Alleged Forgery of NYSC Certificate Fraud

Lagos, Nigeria - The Lagos State Police Command has arrested the Manager of Addide, a popular educational institution, for allegedly forging National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificates.

According to a statement released by the police, the suspect, whose name was given as [Name], was arrested following a complaint lodged by a parent who suspected that the institution was issuing fake NYSC certificates to its students.

During a sting operation, police detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Panti, Yaba, Lagos, raided the Addide office and recovered several fake NYSC certificates, including those bearing the names of students who had not even completed their national service.

The police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said that the suspect was arrested and taken into custody for questioning. "We have launched an investigation into the matter and we are working to unravel the extent of the fraud," he said.

The NYSC is a mandatory one-year national service program for Nigerian graduates, aimed at promoting national unity and development. The institution has been plagued by cases of certificate forgery and other forms of fraud in recent years.

The police have urged parents and guardians to be vigilant and verify the authenticity of their children's NYSC certificates before accepting them as genuine.

Addide has been a popular choice for students seeking to gain admission into Nigerian universities, but this latest development has raised concerns about the institution's integrity.

The police have promised to take stern action against anyone found guilty of forgery and other forms of fraud.

In related news, the NYSC has announced plans to introduce a new system to verify the authenticity of its certificates, in a bid to curb the menace of certificate forgery.

The development is a major blow to Addide and its management, and it remains to be seen how the institution will respond to the allegations.
