How incompetence and cruelty killed a corps member in Kano

   Ifedolapo Oladepo was killed by the incompetence of NYSC officials in camp, and this is her story.
When she set out from Osun State from her alma mater, Ladoke Akintola University of Science and Technology, she had only one destination; NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Kusala Dam, Karaye, Karaye Local Government, Kano State.
She arrived late, exhausted, and because of the stress, coupled with the strenuous registration exercise, she developed a fever the next day.
She did the sensible thing; report to a camp official.
When she complained to the soldiers on camp, they thought she was pretending? So what did they do without verifying? They didn't let her get some rest or even treatment.
For self-preservation, Ifedolapo started calling people, including Oyeyode Abimbola Inioluwa , her relative, who is also a nurse.
Somehow, this pressure from Ifedolapo led to people at the clinic finally attending to her. They gave her an injection.
This is where things started to take a downturn really fast.
Just after taking injections, she noticed strange rashes on her body and called Abimbola again to complain. Apparently, she was having an anaphylactic reaction, a situation where the body reacts suddenly and severely to medication.
The consequences could lead to death.
Being a nurse, Abimbola asked to speak with the doctor who was present, to no avail. The only sane thing for Ifedolapo to try to do at this point, was to leave camp. So she asked her sister to help her book a flight.

Abimbola tried to get a flight out of Kano, to no avail. So she pleaded to a camp official that Ifedolapo be taken to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. They said they'd take her in one hour.
It took another five hours before they finally took her, and then they took her to a General Hospital in Kano, not a Teaching Hopsital. Meanwhile, Abimbola set out to Kano by road with Ifedolapo's sister, Kemisola Oladepo, a 16-hour journey.
By 3am, before Abimbola and Kemisola could even reach Kano, Ifedolapo had died.
According to Abimbola, there was no doctor available to help and the nurse on duty said she tried her best.
Abimbola and Kemisola didn't meet their brilliant sister waiting for them saying it was all a joke, or at least lying on a hospital bed recuperating.
They met their sister, lying cold, dead, never to smile again.
