The NYSC has also set up “a high-powered committee” to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the death of Chinyerum Nwenenda Elechi, Ifedolapo Oladepo and Monday Asuquo Ukeme, deployed in the three states.

The NYSC, in a statement by its Director-General, Brig. General, Suleiman Kazaure, dismissed a report that the deaths were caused by the negligence of its personnel.

He said, “The death of the trio followed brief illnesses and after medical teams in the camps battled to save them in line with established procedures. However, in view of these unfortunate incidents in Bayelsa, Kano, and Zamfara states, the management has set up a high-powered committee to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the deaths.

“The NYSC management appreciates the concerns of stakeholders and wishes to assure the general public, especially serving and prospective corps members as well as parents and guardians “that the scheme will continue to take measures aimed at ensuring the security and general well-being of youths enlisted to serve the nation on its platform.”

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salam, said the parliament would conduct an independent investigation into the cause of the death of the female Corps member, Miss. Ifedolapo Oladepo, who died last week at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Kano State.

The Speaker said this in a statement by his media aide, Mr. Goke Butika.

He said, “The parliament will wait for the outcome of the investigation of the NYSC headquarters, and will conduct our own investigation with a view to getting to the root of the matter.”
