PUNCH Metro learnt that the deceased allegedly complained to an NYSC official at the Wailo orientation camp in the Ganjuwa Local Government Area, of being asthmatic, adding that she would not be able to participate in the regular parade. “The official told her that corps members were fond of giving flimsy excuses in order to avoid parade,” another corps member alleged. She explained that the next day, the late Yohana took part in the morning meditation despite her earlier complaints.
