The late corp member identified as Onwuegbuzie Stanley Samuel, reportedly died at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) after about a week of sickness.

The deceased, a graduate of Babcock University, Ogun state, was carrying out his compulsory one year of National Youth Service Corps, in Obubra, Cross River state.

Stanley is reportedly the second person to die of Lassa fever in the state, and is yet to be buried as measures are still being taken to stop further spread of the disease.

May his gentle soul rest in peace.

RIP

So sad!
avoidable death
