Sister of corper who died in Kano camp recalls last moments

The corps member, Oladapo Ifedolapo who reportedly died at the Kano NYSC orientation camp was said to have given up the ghost as a result of negligence of the medical staff of the camp.

A sister of the late corper explained that her sister who was a product of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology died untimely because medical officers present thought she wanted to boycott morning parade by feigning illness.

She wrote on the issue: “You called me five hours to your death and told me to start coming as the NYSC doctors are not doing anything for you, they thought you were pretending you did not want to go for parade so they did not attend to you.

“When you started calling people from home they eventually gave you an injection. Immediately after the injection, you called me again that you noticed a lot of rashes on your body that I should speak with the doctor who refused to talk to me.

“You called five minutes later and told me your tongue is twisting they sent all your friends out after seeing all the reaction on your body after giving you the unknown injection.

“I told you to tell anybody in the clinic that I’m a nurse they should allow me to speak to them, a male nurse took phone from you and told me you were having anaphylactic reaction and they will watch you for just one hour and transfer you to Aminu Kano teaching hospital, but alas they did not transfer you until 5 hours later wen they notice u are restless.

“I boarded a bus going to Kano with your sister Kemisola Oladepo to come pick you from there, I begged them to take you to a teaching hospital around but they took you to General hospital, Gwazo where they have nothing or little care to render.

“They took your phone from you claiming you were not resting, from that 5pm I could not talk to you, I took a 16-hour journey to make sure I get to you, but I was called around 3am that you gave up, without any doctor in the hospital to assist you the only nurse on duty told me she tried her best.

“Till I got to Kano, I was hoping it will only be a mix up somewhere it can’t be you, got to Kano and met you at Aminu Kano mortuary, alas it was you being put in that cold place”, she wrote.

The deceased has been interred judging from pictures posted on the internet.

There is yet no official statement from NYSC regarding the death of the deceased.
