Tragedy as NYSC member slumps, dies at Kebbi orientation camp

A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member deployed to Kebbi State, Tayachibiyacha Ebal, has tragically passed away after collapsing at the Dakin Gari Orientation Camp.

Reports indicate that Ebal suddenly slumped and was immediately rushed to the camp clinic for urgent medical attention. She was later transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Birnin-Kebbi for advanced treatment. Despite efforts by medical professionals to revive her, she was pronounced dead.

The Kebbi State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Muhammad Fingila, confirmed the incident to journalists in Birnin-Kebbi. He described the event as unfortunate and expressed condolences to the deceased’s family on behalf of the state government. He also revealed that her remains had been sent to her home state, Adamawa, for burial.

Efforts to obtain a statement from the Kebbi State NYSC office were unsuccessful, as their spokesperson, Mrs. Hadiza, did not respond to calls or messages.
