According to NAN, the deceased was among the six Corps members deployed to the company. 

However, while others escaped death by the whisker on that fateful day, Oyindamola got trapped in the rubbles. A source at the NYSC confirmed to reporters that Oyindamola was the only corps member who died in the tragedy, as of now. 

 “Oyin as she was fondly called was a 2021 batch B corps member who was originally deployed to Maiduguri but got a redeployment to Lagos after the three-week orientation,” the source revealed. 

According to a family member, who spoke with reporters at the scene of the incident, said Oyindamola resumed work at the company about three weeks ago and has been working there ever since. 

 “She has been coming here since then. We don’t even know why they sent her here. She was originally posted to Borno but her mother redeployed her. If we had known, we would have allowed her to continue her youth service in that state.

 “We asked her not to go to Borno because of the insurgency but she went there for the three-week orientation and came back alive only to come and die.
