A corps member identified simply as Lohina Bamaiyi Ajegena has d!ed a few days after she arrived the orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Maiduguri, Borno State.
It was gathered that Lovina d!ed on April 27, 2026 after falling ill a few days into the orientation programme.
Lovina’s colleagues confirmed the sad incident on Facebook.
Narrating the events that led to her d3ath, a colleague, Augustine Pamela said she had met Lovina at a motorpark where they had gone to book a car for the camp and then went on to become friends.
However, six days into the orientation programme, Lovina fell sick and she had to nurse her.
In the process, Pamela said she also fell ill and they were both taken to the same hospital where Lovina passed away.
“I met this sweet soul in the garage where we both went to book a car for Maiduguri camp. We exchanged contacts and met up the next day to begin the journey,” she wrote.
We reached, started registration together,got the same room and bunk space. We did everything together simply because we came together and everyone thought we were close friends, some even called us sisters.
“She later fell ill and I was the only one available to nurse her. In the process, I too fell ill and we were both taken to the same hospital but her’s got worse. She shared even the same hospital room, this connection has to be fate.
“I had to help her to the bathroom, feed her, clean her body, and stay awake at nights to make sure she is alright.
“She would call out to me in pain and say thank you after every help I render to her. She would hold my hands firmly and refuse to let go, like she is trying her best to hold unto life itself.
“And I had to watch her cry in pain, helplessly, only hoping and praying to God to please give us a chance to be friends again.
“Many applauded my efforts, calling me a friend indeed but deep down I was confused on whether we were friends or not. We were just two strangers intertwined by fate.
“April 27. 7:03 looking at her beautiful body in front of me, I could only cry about the vanity of life. Mixed feelings on how to even react, because in just 6 days, Lovina means more than even a friend to me
“My beloved. I didn’t get to tell you,but I have fallen in love with you. And I wished we got the chance to be friends forever. Maiduguri camp gave you to me and Maiduguri camp took you from me. Till we meet again, Lovina.”
