An unspecified number of corps members were hurt after a hostel wall collapsed at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp in Ise-Emure, Ekiti.
It was claimed that on Friday morning, the wall separating the bathroom of one of the female hostels collapsed, injuring corps members who were about to take a bath.
In order to receive further medical treatment, the victims, who are presently undergoing a three-week mandatory orientation for their one-year national youth service, were hurried to the clinic.
Meanwhile, the management of NYSC has called for calm, saying the situation was under control.
The NYSC management in a reaction posted on its official handle on X (formerly Twitter), @officialnyscng, on Friday, said: “Management wishes to inform the general public about the collapsed convenience that occurred in the early hours of today, Friday 12th July 2024, at Ekiti State Orientation Camp in Ise-Orun, Emure Ekiti, that the situation is under control.”
