Sixteen Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) have tragically lost their lives in a road accident while travelling to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp from Ondo state in Gombe State.

 

 

 

Two other students from the same trip survived, but both remain in critical condition at a hospital.

 

 

 

 

The victims were reportedly all graduates of Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) in Ondo State. They were travelling in an 18‑seater bus when the crash occurred.

 

 

 

 

Emergency responders recovered the bodies and evacuated the injured to a local medical facility.

 

 

 

No formal statement has been issued by the NYSC Management. Authorities, including the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), were leading the investigation into the cause of the crash.
