She pleaded with corps members not to always hide their health challenges, noting that only the living could serve the nation.
Jumoke, a 2017 Batch B Stream II corps member, was said to have died after an asthmatic attack at the camp’s clinic.
A source, who would not want to be mentioned, told the newspaper that the deceased suffered her first attack a week after she arrived in the camp, but was assisted by her colleagues.

The source said, “When the deceased suffered her first attack in camp, she was helped by fellow corps members to overcome it. But we don’t know what happened when a similar attack that took her life happened.”
Jumoke’s body was deposited at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.
