Corps member slumps, dies in Bayelsa

A member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) identified as Mr. Ogundare Lawrence Opeyemi, has slumped and died in Bayelsa State.

Opeyemi, it was gathered, died in Nembe, Nembe Local Government Area, where he was posted for his primary assignment.

It was learnt that the deceased corps member slumped a day after he had a party with his colleagues
in the area.

“A day after the party, he complained of a health-related issue and before we knew what was happening he slumped and died”, a source who spoke in confidence said.

His death caused panic among corps members, who raised the alarm over incessant death of their colleagues in the state.

TheNation reports that his remains were later conveyed to and deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa.

But on Friday, corps members cried uncontrollably when kinsmen of the deceased came to convey the remains to his home state, Ekiti for burial.

Hundreds of corps members trooped to the mortuary section of the hospital in solidarity with their departed colleague.DON'T FORGET TO ALWAYS DROP YOUR COMMENT(S) AND SUGGESTION(S) IN THE COMMENT BOX BELOW. THANKS FOR VISITING. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/jtownonline
