Tragedy in Maiduguri: NYSC Corps Member Dies Days into Orientation
A female corps member named Lovina Bamaiyi Ajegena died on April 27, 2026, just six days after arriving at the NYSC orientation camp in Maiduguri, Borno State, following a sudden illness. Her camp mate, Augustine Pamela, shared that they met at a motorpark while booking transport and stuck together from registration to rooming. When Lovina fell seriously ill, Pamela nursed her around the clock but eventually also took ill, and both were admitted to the same hospital. Lovina’s condition worsened, and she passed away despite the close care and prayers of her newfound friend. Reflecting on those final days, Pamela described how Lovina would call out for help in pain, cling to hope and hold her hand tightly. The bond they formed in a few short days made Lovina’s loss all the more heartbreaking. Pamela vows never to forget the kindness and connection they shared at camp.
