A corp member slumps and died after a party.

A member of the National Youth Service
Corps, Mr. Ogundare Opeyemi, has
slumped and died in the Nembe area of
Bayelsa State.
Opeyemi, it was learnt, died in the area
where he was posted for his primary
assignment.
It was also 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 craved
anonymity, said.
It was gathered that Opeyemi’s death
caused panic among corps members,
who raised the alarm over incessant
deaths of their colleagues in the state.
His remains were later deposited at the
mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre,
Yenagoa.
On Friday, corps members cried
uncontrollably when the kinsmen of the
deceased came to convey Opeyemi’s
remains to Ekiti, his home state for
burial. Hundreds of corps members went
in large number to the mortuary.
Officials of the NYSC in the state were
led by the NYSC state Coordinator, Mr.
Anthony Ekeocha.
Ekeocha reportedly described the death
as painful and decried incessant deaths
of corps members in Bayelsa.
He said, “We are here to carry out an
assignment and it is a painful
assignment.
“We all pray that we should not die
prematurely but at an old age. I put
myself in the shoes of the parents after
much investment but at the end this is
what they got”.
