The corps members are currently in the camp for the three-week compulsory orientation exercise for those posted to the state.

However, an official of the NYSC who confirmed the incident said only two corps members were affected and have been stabilized at the camp’s clinic.

He called on parents, guardians and stakeholders not to panic over the incident, adding that it had no serious negative impact on the corps members.

Meanwhile, there have been cries over the years about the poor conditions of structures in the NYSC Camp in the state, but no adequate renovation has taken place.
