A female corp member died after being required to participate in military drills on Tuesday at Kano camp. It was discovered that she didn’t partake in the drill because she woke up feeling extremely ill and was taken to a clinic where she was supposedly neglected and not given proper medical care.
The female corp member identified as Oladepo Ifedolapo was a first class graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. She died same day she fell ill and was buried yesterday in Osogbo at her family’s residence amidst tears.
The elder sister of the deceased narrated the late call member’s final moments. According to Oyeyode Abimbola,
“You (Ifedolapo) called me five-hour to your death and you told me to start coming as the NYSC doctors are not doing anything for you, they thought you were pretending you did not want to go for parade so they did not attend to you. When you started calling people from home, they eventually gave u an injection. Immediately after, you called me again, saying that you noticed a lot of rashes on your body that I should speak with the doctor who however refused to talk to me.
I called five minutes later and you told me your tongue is twisting. They sent all your friends out after seeing all the reaction on your body due to the unknown injection, you said we should ask for flight and i called immediately. They told me Abuja flight is Mon, Wed &Fri. I told you to tell anybody in the clinic that I’m a nurse, that they should allow me to speak to them. A male nurse took your phone and told me you are having anaphylactic reaction and they will watch you for just one hour before transferring you to Aminu Kano teaching hospital. But alas, they did not, until 5 hours later when they noticed you were restless and calling people at home.
I boarded a bus going to kano with your sister Kemisola Oladepo, to come pick you from there. I begged them to take you to a teaching hospital around but they took you to General hospital gwazo where they have nothing or little care to render. They took your phone from you claiming you are not resting. From that 5 pm I could not talk to you. I took a 16 hours journey to make sure I get to you, but I was called around 3 am that you gave up, without any doctor in the hospital to assist you. The only nurse on duty told me she tried her best, her best of staying beside you when death was taking you away because there was nothing to use.
From that time till I got to Kano, I was hoping it will only be a mix up somewhere that it can’t be you. I got to Kano and met you at Aminu Kano mortuary. Alas, it was you being put in that cold place. Amokkkkkeeeeeeeeee Mi, you couldn’t withstand the agony. NYSC successfully cut your destiny due to negligence. REST ON OUR QUEEN. If you are opportuned to come back to the world pls come as my daughter. ADIEU Oladepo Ifedolapo AMOkE MI
