According to sources, the doctor at the NYSC camp clinic immediately referred her to the state owned Diette-Koki Memorial Hospital, Opolo in the state capital where she was confirmed dead.
The demise of the corps member, it was learned was the subject of discussion among her colleagues at the camp.
