A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Tayachibiyacha Ebal, deployed to Kebbi State, has tragically passed away after collapsing at the Dakin Gari Orientation Camp.
The incident occurred when Ebal suddenly slumped during camp activities. She was immediately rushed to the camp clinic for urgent medical assistance.
However, as her condition required more advanced care, she was transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Birnin Kebbi. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Ebal could not be revived and was pronounced dead.
Speaking to journalists, the Kebbi State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Muhammad Fingila, confirmed the heartbreaking news.
He described the incident as deeply unfortunate and extended his condolences to the family of the deceased on behalf of the Kebbi State government. “Her remains have been sent to her home state, Adamawa,” Fingila revealed.
Efforts to obtain a response from the NYSC Kebbi State office were unsuccessful. The office’s spokesperson, Mrs. Hadiza, did not return calls or respond to text messages seeking a statement on the matter.
