The National Youth Service Corps Management, has debunked the false and misleading information, about the thunder strike incident that occurred in Abia State Orientation Camp, Umunna, yesterday July 13, 2024.
“Abia State Orientation Camp, Umunna, did not record any death, as being reported in some sections of the media.
“Though, there was a heavy downpour, in the early hours of the day with unusual thunderstorm, the only injured female Corps Member was immediately stabilised, by the dedicated Orientation Camp Medical Team, from Federal Medical Centre Umuahia.
“The Corps Member was immediately referred to a hospital in Umuahia, for prompt medical evaluation.
“The Corps Member is very stable and responding to treatment accordingly, whereas, the parents of the Corps Member, have been contacted and they have confirmed that their daughter is in a very stable condition.
“The blogger that erupted the information, did not get the facts of the matter, from NYSC before publishing.
“NYSC as a proactive organisation, is committed to the health, well-being and security of it’s Corps Members at all time.
“The general public especially parents and guardians, of Corps Members currently in camp, should be rest assured, that the security and welfare of their children in NYSC Abia State Orientation Camp, is fully guaranteed.” The Management said
