       A national youth corper is currently languishing at the
       Kiri-Kiri medium prison in Apapa, Lagos after a failed N3.5
       million investment in Twinkas and MMM Ponzi schemes.
       Politics Nigeria discovered that the corper, a 2016 Batch B
       member of the National youth service corps, was arrested and
       arraigned for embezzlement after operators of the Ponzi schemes
       failed to return the money, which belonged to the company where
       he was doing his service.
       The young man had hoped to make a quick profit at the end of his
       service only to end up disappointed. His employers wasted no
       time in inviting the police into the matter after he failed to
       return the money. His plight was made public by a colleague, a
       lawyer, who missed the last community development service (CDS)
       and took advantage of the group’s WhatsApp platform to explain
       his absence.
       The lawyer, Augustine Ukpo, wrote:
       “I was in court representing our Corper member colleague who was
       arrested and arraigned today before the Agbomalu Magistrate
       Court involved in N3.5 million embezzlement from his PPA (Place
       of Primary Assignment).” Giving an update the next day, corper
       Ukpo wrote on the same platform: “I earlier posted you guys that
       one (of) our Corper colleague(s) was arrested and arraigned
       yesterday.
       He is now in Kirikiri Medium Prison pending the perfection of
       his bail conditions. While interviewing the corper member, I
       noticed bruises all over his body – evidence that he was beaten.
       He was kept in police custody for more than 24 hours. These got
       me furious as a lawyer. Even though the corper agreed that he
       used the money for MMM and Twinkas, his fundamental right should
       not be compromised. In this vein, I shall be filing a
       fundamental right action against the employer of the Corper.
       Corper Ukpo refused to disclose the name of his client but
       posted photos showing signs of torture allegedly inflicted on
       him in a police cell before he was transferred to prison
       custody.
