A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Tayachibiyacha Ebal, deployed to Kebbi State, has tragically passed away after suddenly slumping at the Dakin Gari Orientation Camp.
According to reports, Ebal was immediately rushed to the camp clinic for medical attention and later transferred to the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin-Kebbi, for advanced care. Despite the efforts of medical personnel to resuscitate her, Ebal unfortunately succumbed to death.

The State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Muhammad Fingila, confirmed the incident and expressed his condolences to the grieving family on behalf of the Kebbi government.
“The incident is unfortunate,” Fingila said. “Her remains have been sent to her home state, Adamawa.”
This incident is reminiscent of a similar tragedy that occurred in March 2022, when a corps member, Musa Momoh Tunde, slumped and died while watching a football match at the Kebbi orientation camp.
