The National Youth Service Corp on Friday cleared the air over the controversial death of a First Class graduate of Transport Management, Ifedolapo Oladepo from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso at its orientation camp in Kano.
In an interview the Kano Coordinator of NYSC, Abdullahi Baba said that the late Corper died in a Government hospital.
“The truth of the matter was that the Corper did not die at the camp, she died in the hospital. She was sick, treated at the camp clinic, and when she was not responding, she was taken to second facility hospital at Gwarzo General hospital”.
“I have reported the matter to my Head office, she was handled by our doctors in the camp before she was transferred to Government hospital,” he said.
He distanced the Camp management from the Corper’s death, stressing that, “we have nothing to do with her death, the records and the file are there, the Doctors that treated her at the camp are there likewise those that treated her in her at the Government hospital”.
The Coordinator declared that “anything outside this account is falsehood and people are free to hold opinion whether positive or negative but the beautiful things are that the records there for anyone to access.”
Abdullahi Baba, who ruled out negligence on the part of NYSC management said, “her case was handled by professional and I believe they know better.”
