Oladepo, who is a retired civil servant in Osun State filed the suit before an Abuja Federal High Court.
Ifedolapo, died at the National Youth Service Corps Orientation Camp in Kano State last year.
The bereaved father is seeking N100m as damages for the death of her daughter.
The late corps member finished from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso with with a First Class in Transport Management.
Oladepo’s lawyer, Wale Afolabi, who is a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Osun State, prayed the court to order the defendants to pay N100m to the bereaved family as general damages for the emotional distress caused by Ifedolapo’s sudden death.
Apart from the Federal Government, other defendants in the suit are the Director-General, NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure; and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
The father stated in the statement of claim that his daughter died on November 29, 2016, as a result of negligence on the part of the NYSC because the agency failed to give his daughter prompt medical attention when she took ill three days after she reported to the camp.
Oladepo is demanding that, “A declaration that the officers of the first defendant (NYSC Director-General) breached their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo, daughter of the plaintiff, by their failure to give proper medical attention and proper medication to the deceased, which culminated in her worsened state of health and eventual death on November 29, 2016.
“A declaration that officers of the 1st defendants breached in their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo by their failure to refer the deceased to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital when the adequate facilities to cater for the deceased’s health condition were not available at the NYSC Kano Orientation Camp Clinic.”

Chai! So sad
ReplyDeleteNa wa. I really feel for this family
ReplyDeleteEya.
ReplyDeleteImo, they should scrap this agency called nysc, afterall Princeton graduates n etc, don't serve.
ReplyDeleteRip Ifedolapo...
Delete100% for the scraping of the useless scheme! Very useless
DeleteRIP fine girl. Pray your father is comforted
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace Dolapo!!😞
ReplyDeleteWow this case is still on, they should compensate the family. Failed country
ReplyDeleteGood development.
ReplyDeleteI know people will say the old man should leave them afterall she's dead and gone.
Even if the family doesn't see a kobo, Nigerians need to start suing in cases of sheer negligence. This will teach people in authority, organisations, hospitals doctors/nurses etc that this is human life, there is no duplicate and there are consequences for their actions when they do not carry their responsibilities according to the oath they swore.
In America not that negligence doesn't happen from time to time, but you will see Doctors/nurses doing their best. They know with a civil law suit their medical license can be revoked and that will be the end of their career.
But in Nigeria nothing like that. They behave anyhow because there is no repercussion to their actions.
I love you...very intelligent human being.
DeleteYou just nailed it. If everyone that this has ever affected should sue them, them I'm sure they will scrap this death trap called NYSC.
DeleteWish I had someone that can help me fight Nysc. I had an accident and was abandoned.
DeleteI swear, too much sense.. I kept affirming with an actual nod..
DeleteLives are not valued in Nigeria.. no be new song. Scrap this sh#$. Gives us the money. Would it be bad to just say, once you've graduated successfully, you're given a certain substantial sum by the Government.., I mean with the poor state of the economy, that sounds like a really good idea..
But they'd rather spend millions feeding, kits, Human resources, Allawee.., haba..!
Now just imagine.. Almost every month there's been bad news for one Corper.
It's becoming unbecoming
I typed this high.
Five star for your comment jare
DeleteAwww sad story..
ReplyDeleteMay her soul continue to rest in peace! The level of negligence in this country is alarming
God help us!
100m is too small na. I will even sue for more. Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteYea. I suppose it's too small. It should have been 200m
DeleteIf more people do this, those in authority will sit up. #justice for ifedolapo
ReplyDeleteEyaaaah may her soul Rip.
ReplyDelete*hangs leg on the wall**
All these human rights people no go see this one, if it's one useless case now they go carry am for head
ReplyDeleteFestus ķeyamo, Femi falana and co. They'd rather meddle into politics than this. Smh.
DeleteMay God comfort this family!
