 ‘You will be arrested’ — NYSC DG warns corps members over cybercrime offences Olakunle Nafiu, director-general (DG) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), says serving corps members are not exempted from Nigeria’s cybercrime law during their mandatory national service year. Nafiu spoke in Abuja on Thursday during an interview, where he noted that corps members are citizens and are bound by the constitution and other extant laws regulating online conduct, cyber activities, and public behaviour. Nafiu noted that allegations of cyberbullying involving corps members would be investigated and handled by relevant law enforcement agencies in line with the law.

 NAFDAC REFUTES FALSE REPORT ON SUSPENSION OF SACHET ALCOHOL ENFORCEMENT - THE BAN REMAINS IN FORCE 

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) categorically refutes a publication circulating in some media outlets alleging that the Federal Government has directed the Agency to suspend enforcement actions on sachet alcohol and alcoholic beverages packaged in PET bottles below 200ml.

 The report is false, misleading, and does not reflect any official communication from the Federal Government. NAFDAC operates strictly within its statutory mandate and in alignment with duly communicated Federal Government policies. At no time has the Agency received any directive to suspend its regulatory or enforcement activities regarding sachet alcohol and small-volume alcoholic beverages. The ban remains in force. 

NAFDAC has begun evacuating violative sachet alcohol and alcoholic drinks in PET bottles below 200ml from companies. The Agency has also observed that some manufacturers, having recognised that the objective of this policy is to protect children from easy access to alcohol, are desisting from producing these smaller pack sizes. As previously reported, about 50% of minors and underage persons patronise retailers selling alcohol in sachets and PET bottles below 20Oml.

 The Agency remains committed to safeguarding public health, ensuring regulatory compliance, and implementing government policies transparently and in accordance with due process. Any decision affecting national regulatory actions will be communicated through official government channels. The Agency also cautions against the dissemination of unverified information capable of causing misinformation, fake news, and misinterpretation of government policy. NAFDAC urges the public, industry stakeholders, and the media to rely solely on verified information published through its official platforms.
