The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) yesterday set up a high-powered committee to probe the death of Elechi Nwenenda, Oladepo Ifedolapo and Asuquo Ukeme who died at the ongoing Batch B (Stream 1) orientation camps in Bayelsa, Kano and Zamfara States.
Its Director General Brigadier General Sule Kazaure disclosed this in a statement he personally signed in Abuja. The committee, according to him, will probe the remote and immediate causes of the deaths that have generated ripples in the nation.
He denied insinuations that the deaths were caused by negligence on the part of the medical teams at the camps. Instead, he pointed out the corps members died from sicknesses that the medical team battled to no avail
