“If you are caught in any incriminating or irresponsible act, you will be apprehended and prosecuted accordingly,” Kazaure said.

Kazaure further urged corps members to be on the lookout for miscreants who disguise as corps members to perpetrate mischief.

“You must be vigilant and report anyone who is seen in very newly sown uniform. If the person is authentic, they must be able to identify themselves appropriately.

“Ogun State is fully prepared to secure your lives,” he said.

Security representatives from the army, police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, who sensitized corps members on safety measures, also provided them with distress call centre numbers.

The given numbers are: 08139880080, 09092989929 and 07052374757.
