Judith Iloka was quickly rushed to University Teaching Hospital where she was placed on oxygen until daybreak.
According to her friends and Corp members, the situation seems not to be getting any better , one of them who spoke to anaedoonline.ng lamented saying, “After many pleas from the Corpers, NAUTH requested that a scan should be conducted on her , we (Corp members ) contributed a total sum of forty-five thousand Naira (N45, 000) for her scan, even though we are aware that the NYSC scheme has a health insurance policy in place. The scan was conducted outside the NAUTH premises because their machine was faulty. ”
