Several corps members in Ekiti State sustained injuries following the collapse of a wall in one of the hostels at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in the Ise-Emure area of the state.
The incident occurred in the women’s section on Friday morning, during the three-week compulsory orientation exercise for those posted to the state.
One of the sources said, “Yes, the wall of one of the female hostels collapsed this morning (Friday). It was the bathroom wall which caved in when they were planning to take their bath.
“But thank God, people rushed down there to retrieve them from the rubble. They have been stabilized at the clinic and they will get further medical treatments.”
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.
