Senate orders probe into corps member’s death in Enugu

The Senate has ordered an investigation into the death of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Etimbuk Daniel, at the Enugu State orientation camp. The probe will examine the circumstances surrounding Daniel’s death and assess the state of medical facilities and emergency response services in NYSC camps nationwide. A Senate motion of urgent public importance, sponsored by Senator Aniekan Bassey, calls for a comprehensive review of medical services in NYSC orientation camps across the country in light of the sudden and untimely passing of the vibrant, patriotic young Nigerian.

Bassey emphasized the need for urgent legislative scrutiny amid allegations of medical negligence, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and the absence of effective emergency response and referral systems in orientation camps.
