The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has warned corps members on election duty not to collect snacks and drinks from unknown persons during the elections.
Suleiman Kazaure, NYSC director-general, gave the warning while addressing corps members in Gombe state.
According to NAN, Kazaure was represented by Zakaria Alphonso, assistant director, mobilisation, NYSC, Abuja.
He said such gifts could harm them, advising them to make personal feeding plans.
“Because such items can be poisoned or flavoured with drugs that can induce sleep. Rather, you should go along with your lunch packs to your various polling units,” he said.
The DG told the corps members to “display high-level of integrity”, patriotism and commitment to ensuring free, fair and credible elections.
He advised them to ensure that their phones are charged and that they should appear in NYSC uniform, with their identity cards.
The corps members were also given security tips.
The presidential and national assembly elections are scheduled to hold on Saturday.
