The main reason why Ifedolapo Oladepo
died in the camp has been disclosed by
the NYSC after conclusion of
investigation. Ifedolapo Oladepo tragically died while
serving her country
The 2016 Batch 'B' corps member, late
Ifedolapo Oladepo, who died at the
National Youth Service Corps orientation
camp in Kano, had renal sepsis which
occurred as a result of an infection.
Oladepo graduated from the Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology,
Ogbomoso before the her tragic demise.
This was the report of an investigation
conducted to unravel the immediate
cause of her death. The investigation
revealed she “had kidney infection,
probably due to untreated urinary tract
infection.”
The Minister of Youth and Sports,
Solomon Dalung and Director General of
the NYSC, Brig-General Suleiman
Kazaure, while presenting the report on
Tuesday in Abuja, said the government
will continue to ensure the safety of
youth corps members.
The family of the deceased corps
member had accused the government of
negligence in handling Oladepo's health
condition leading to her untimely death.
While presenting the report of the
committee set up to unravel the
immediate and remote causes of their
deaths, Kazaure said Ifedolapo
Oladepo’s death was as a result of her
“refusal to disclose her ailment she had
been battling with before resuming to
camp.”
He said, “It is clear that the deceased
had an ailment which she did not
disclose. From the doctors’ report, the
corps member died of renal sepsis
occasioned by infection.
“Even, to the untrained, kidney
infections do not develop and
degenerate to the level of mortality in
three days (i.e 7th to 29th November,
2016).
“The deceased first appeared at the
camp clinic with complaints of
headache and fever, which she said she
had been experiencing for two days.
“On examination, the doctors on duty
noticed rashes on her legs, which she
claimed started appearing as a result of
her use of a second-hand knickers she
bought without first washing it.
“Doctors noticed increase in the rashes
on her legs, the deceased still dismissed
it as a reaction to usage of a second-
hand knicker. By this time, she had
been vomiting. Therefore, she was
admitted at the camp clinic and treated
with Drazamol injection and Piriton to
soothe her body pains as she was
already on malaria drugs.”
According to him, the deceased was
immediately referred to Gwarzo General
Hospital for further treatment, where,
after examination, “the doctor
concluded that the deceased had kidney
infection probably due to untreated
urinary tract infection.”
He said Oladepo died on her way to the
Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital for
immediate dialysis.
He said, “The investigation showed that
the deceased responded well until about
2:00am on 29th November when her
condition worsened, and her body began
to show noticeable signs of fluid
retention.
“She was thereafter placed on oxygen
as the doctors battled to stabilise her
for the long journey to Aminu Kano
Teaching Hospital.”
She finally died at about 4:00 am on
November 29, 2016.
It would be recalled that apart from
Oladepo, two other corps members died
recently died during the on-going 2016
Batch ‘B’ (Stream I) orientation
programme.
They are Chinyerum Nwenenda Elechi,
Ifedolapo Oladepo and Monday Asuquo
Ukeme, deployed to Bayelsa, Kano and
