According to a witness from the orientation camp, Miss Amadi died due to lack of inadequate medical facility at the camp clinic on Thursday. The source said,
“She suffered a fracture during the Man ‘O’ War drill and she was rushed to the clinic here on camp, but there was no medical facility. No X-Ray Machine, no drugs, nothing was there. She had to buy bandages with her own money. There was no doctor, it was the medical students here that were stationed at the clinic.”
The source also pointed out that the distance from the camp to the neatest hospital also contributed to the unfortunate incident.
“Can you imagine that the nearest hospital to this place is about 2 hours drive on high speed? We need major facilities here. Nigerian government will force us here to come and suffer and die in poor conditions," the source said.
