What will happen if I spend the money?
NYSC will fish you out during your final clearance and punish you accordingly for being dishonest. The punishment could be extension of service year up to 3 months without pay, and you will still return the money to NYSC.
How are they going to fish me out?
Recall that all Corps members opened a new bank account in camp for receiving NYSC allowance. This makes it easier for NYSC to catch those who receive double allowance.
So, during the final clearance, NYSC will ask every corps member to submit official statement of their allowance accounts. The statements are to be obtained from banks, from the date they started service to the date of passing out parade.
From the bank statement, NYSC will fish out those who received double allowance and refused to return it.
