Katsina corps member killed in road crash: NYSC
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says a corps member, Mamudo Obaje, KT/23B/1153, who was serving in Katsina and died on January 4, was not killed in a road crash.
The NYSC’s press and public relations director, Eddy Megwa, said in a statement on Tuesday.
According to the NYSC statement, Mr Obaje, who was serving at Government Girls’ College, Katsina, was in transit from Kaduna to Katsina and was involved in a road accident at Gayaza in Kankia LGA alongside other passengers.
“Unfortunately, two of the passengers, including the corps member, lost their lives in the accident. While the NYSC family nationwide has been thrown into mourning from this tragic event.
“Management has also commiserated with the family of the deceased corps member over the loss of the gallant patriot who died while in active service of his fatherland.
“NYSC wishes to once again call on bloggers to always be factual in their reportage in order not to cause unnecessary apprehension in the society because fictitious and unprofessional publications contradict the ethics of good journalism,” the statement explained.
