A female corps member, Magdalene Yohanna has collapsed at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp and later died few minutes after she was rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi.

According to a report Independent Nigeria, the tragedy occurred barely four days after the 2019 Batch “A” corps members reported for the three weeks orientation course at the Wailo NYSC camp in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

It was gathered that on that fateful morning of April 1, Miss Magdalene had reportedly complained to NYSC officials about her protracted asthma illness and how she would not be fit to attend the ‘morning meditation’ but her complainants fell on deaf ears.

Against her will, she was forced to attend the ‘meditation’ and collapsed a few minutes later. She was immediately attended to by corps member doctors and nurses, but when attempts to resuscitate her were not yielding results, she rushed to ATBUTH to save her life.

Further inquiries from medical doctors at the hospital concerning what could have led to the untimely death of Miss Magdalene had no answers as they were not authorized to speak to anyone about her demise.

It was learned that Miss Magdalene Yohanna, an orphan, sponsored her education throughout her higher institution. She has been buried at her home town in Kaduna amidst tears and pain.

Rip magdalene Orientation camps in the north should be equipped with air conditioners and field activities should be done in the evening or shifted to other periods of the year because the heat in arewa has never been this temperate like this year 48degrees in maiduguri yesterday can kill someone subjected to physical activities under the sun. #i_am_north_nigerian

Another corper dies in questionable circumstances.

Why not exempt people with chronic medical health challenges from this scheme or scrap it altogether since the vision for its invention is no longer tenable in today's Nigeria.

The gulf of division among the ethnic nationalities comprising Nigeria has never been this palpable courtesy a president who only trust people from his region .

Why do NYSC require Medical fitness certificate if they can't utilize it camp bkus the aim of such test is to know those who are physically fit to withstand the rigorous process at the camp. Itz too painful for such to befall an orphan, RIP dear compatriot
