The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), on Saturday declared that any corps member that violates electoral laws during the forthcoming general elections would be prosecuted.

The NYSC DG, Maj.- Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, who spoke with corps members in Enugu, on the sidelines of the forthcoming general elections, charged them to be good ambassadors of the scheme and their families.

He also cautioned the corps members that would be on election duty against unnecessary ‘friendship’ with politicians in order to avoid any form of inducement.

According to him, security agencies had been mobilised to provide cover for the corps members and should not lose sight of security tips while on the field.

“Study your environment and be security conscious. When face with obvious danger, secure yourself first.

“Do not enter vehicles belonging to politicians and strangers as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will provide all your needs,”he said.

He said that all corps members on election duty must appear in their uniforms with their identity cards.
