According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Taraba Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs Florence Yaakugh, on Friday, said the suspects were caught with the fake certificates during screening of prospective Batch B Stream 2 corps members at the orientation camp in Jalingo.
The suspects who are, "Nasiru Yau", claimed to have studied Mass Communication, "Shehu Murktar" - Computer Science and "Illiyasu Usman"- Sociology, all from Isfop University of Cotonou in Republic of Benin.
"They came for registration and the verification officer discovered them with fake certificates and verification papers.
"If you will recall, the Director-General of NYSC Brig.-Gen. Shauibu Ibrahim recently expressed deep concern over the activities of fake corps members who cannot make a correct sentence in the English language.
"He directed us to check and fish out such persons and hand them over to the security operatives for further investigation and this is what we are just doing." She Said.
