Family Demands Justice After NYSC Camp Death of Student Leader

Comrade Etimbuk Daniel, the immediate past President of the Students Union Government of Akwa Ibom State University, died shortly after reporting to the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Agwu, Enugu. His death, following a brief headache, has led to mourning across the university campuses.

Reports indicate that Daniel's condition worsened after he initially received medication, and there were claims that his request for hospital care was delayed. Allegations surfaced that the medication he received was fake.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned the alleged mismanagement of his health crisis and called for a thorough investigation. Daniel's father, Mr. Daniel Sunday, expressed his family's grief and demanded clarity on the circumstances of his son's death.

The NYSC authorities in Enugu have denied any foul play, stating that Daniel experienced low blood pressure and was transferred to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital for further medical attention.
