Ibibio Vanguard Demands Investigation into Graduate's Death

Ibibio Vanguard, a socio-political group in Akwa Ibom State, has demanded a thorough investigation into the death of Comrade Etimbuk Daniel, a former Students’ Union Government president at Akwa Ibom State University, who died at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp in Enugu State. The group expressed that Daniel's death, described as a loss of a brilliant and promising leader, has plunged the state into mourning.

In a statement by National Secretary Comrade Silas Udom, the group urged the Federal Government, NYSC management, health authorities, and police to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the circumstances of Daniel's death. Allegations suggest that he complained of a headache, received inappropriate medication, and was not taken to a hospital in a timely manner.

Ibibio Vanguard emphasized the need for adequate medical attention for young Nigerians in the national service scheme and called for transparency in the investigation's outcome.
