A female NYSC corps member has set social media abuzz after breaking down in tears when a medical test confirmed she was actually pregnant — despite initially claiming it was a lie.
The bizarre incident was shared by a medical doctor on X (formerly Twitter), @PreciousOrla, and has since gone viral.
She Faked a Pregnancy to Leave Camp
According to the doctor’s account, the corps member claimed she was pregnant in a bid to be excused from strenuous camp activities. However, when she was told that a pregnancy test would be conducted for confirmation, she quickly backtracked.
She reportedly confessed that she had lied and insisted she was not pregnant after all.

The result came back positive.
The corps member, who moments earlier had claimed it was all a lie, reportedly broke down in tears after realizing she was truly pregnant — a discovery she herself did not expect.
The doctor wrote:
“Someone here wanted to use pregnancy to lie and leave camp. Immediately she realised she will be tested for confirmation she now said she’s not pregnant again and that she was lying. The nurse insisted on doing the test anyway, and she’s indeed pregnant. She’s been crying.”
