Father of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member who died in Kano camp last year, Ifedolapo Oladepo, Wale Oladepo, has dragged the Federal Government to court.

Oladepo, who is a retired civil servant in Osun State filed the suit before an Abuja Federal High Court.

Ifedolapo, died at the National Youth Service Corps Orientation Camp in Kano State last year.
The bereaved father is seeking N100m as damages for the death of her daughter.

The late corps member finished from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso with with a First Class in Transport Management.

Oladepo’s lawyer, Wale Afolabi, who is a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Osun State, prayed the court to order the defendants to pay N100m to the bereaved family as general damages for the emotional distress caused by Ifedolapo’s sudden death.

Apart from the Federal Government, other defendants in the suit are the Director-General, NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure; and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

The father stated in the statement of claim that his daughter died on November 29, 2016, as a result of negligence on the part of the NYSC because the agency failed to give his daughter prompt medical attention when she took ill three days after she reported to the camp.

Oladepo is demanding that, “A declaration that the officers of the first defendant (NYSC Director-General) breached their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo, daughter of the plaintiff, by their failure to give proper medical attention and proper medication to the deceased, which culminated in her worsened state of health and eventual death on November 29, 2016.

“A declaration that officers of the 1st defendants breached in their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo by their failure to refer the deceased to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital when the adequate facilities to cater for the deceased’s health condition were not available at the NYSC Kano Orientation Camp Clinic.”

Well, I can't blame the father of the deceased for demanding for payment because it is painful loss for his family. It will put the authorities on their toes. However, I wish the family of Rachael take heart because even if 1Billion is paid, it can never be equated to her life. Rip to the dead.

Hmm

This is why i've always laugh in chinese anytime they say EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT MONEY
Money won't make you happy and so on

ftc.. cgts efe

Seconded Sir!!!

Let them pay till they recognise that the life of every citizen is important





Wicked government!

Sharp man, carry go ojareee. At all at all na him bad pass.

I can imagine how the man feels... after investing in his daughter and she died in her prime. What a sad story

This man should be suing for nothing less than 1b. Those Kano officials are very stupid. I'm very sure when she complained of her Ill-health those foolish soldiers would think she's trying to use it as a means to escape morning drills.

RIP Dearie. You didn't die natural but carelessly in the hands of those who were supposed to take care of you while serving your nation.

The man think say NYSC nd BBNAIJA, drag them up and down,N25Million or sorry,N25 you no go see

r.I.p federal government can pay it

They should pay up the 100m. They have no right to leave this young girl to die while they share the oil wealth.

I support the parents of this girl.

First time ever.. second to comment

I pray her soul continues to rest in perfect peace. .

First class? Beauty with brain wasted. Keep Resting in peace.

He can't win
